[Aroid-l] Dormancy issues with Amorph's

From: ken at spatulacity.com (Ken Mosher) on 2007.08.03 at 23:07:42(16071) Hi Clive, I deflower my Am. konjacs every spring - lending credence to the old saying, "In Spring a young man's fancy turns to love." And I'm sure that Lord P would heartily endorse the deflowering of Amorphophalli at every opportunity; but of course he's a Dutchman, which explains a lot ;) More to the matter at hand, I understand exactly what you're going through. I encounter the same inconvenience here in the Northeast USA even *with* my greenhouse. I have not found, in my own personal experience, that cutting off the developing inflorescence of a konjac makes it break dormancy any earlier than if I had let it flower. I await the experiences of others to confirm or refute. -Ken +More -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
