Re: [Aroid-l] disappearing acts (Amorphophallus)

From: Susan B honeybunny442 at yahoo.com> on 2006.05.30 at 15:20:52(14322) Dear Tsuh Yang, This has happened to me as well, with a large konjac tuber that grew a leaf over 5 feet tall and probably 3.5inches in diameter (152 cm and approx 9cm). I dug up the tuber in fall and ....nothing. Mine was grown in the ground. At the time I thought it had put all its energy into putting up a large leaf, and didn't have time after that to get carbohydrates or whatever built up to form a new tuber- needed a longer growing period. I don't know- it was very strange. susan +More --- "StroWi@t-online.de" wrote: > Dear tsuh yang, > > how where the growing conditions of the plants? > Esp, fertilization..... > > It is not understandable that a tuberous aroid does > not grow a new > tuber, if growing conditions and fertilization where > OK. > > Better growing next time, > Bernhard. > > -----Original Message----- > > Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 21:47:37 +0200 > > Subject: [Aroid-l] disappearing acts > (Amorphophallus) > > From: piaba > > To: Discussion of aroids > [naughty introduction deleted, Bernhard. > ty, sometimes you are a bad boy ;-), just like > me....] > > my question to you amorph growers is: what makes > an > > amorph plant grow huge, happily, for one season, > as a > > matter of fact, grow so well that it completely > > depletes its tuber? ?i've lost two giant tubers i > had > > of paeoniifolius and longituberosus. ?both grew > sturdy > > stems, lots of leaflets, but to my surprise, after > > they went dormant, there was no tuber left. ?these > > were grown in pots indoors, not in a greenhouse or > > garden. ? > > > > thanks. > > > > > > > > > > > > ========= > > tsuh yang > > > _______________________________________________ > Aroid-l mailing list > Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
