[Aroid-l]

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi at t-online.de) on 2008.03.27 at 07:56:51(17237) Tom, could you write in a few lines how the measurements of the tubers (weight, diameter) and the used pots/containers are? @ all: +More I would be very pleased to read some more data from other titanum growers as well, since I would like to forward this information to the Berggarten in Hannover, Germany, who's titanum was about 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter and weight 3.9 kg (about 8.5 lbs). The plant has probably to go through some more vegetative phases to reach flowering size, however, I would like to forward some advice regarding the supporting container size. To date it is growing in a container shown in: http://www.aroid.org/gallery/strolka/P1000322_web.jpg Thanks in advance and Happy Growing! Bernhard.
