Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus koratensis problem (pictures)

From: Ken Mosher <ken at spatulacity.com> on 2008.11.10 at 05:14:16(18705) Erin, It's no problem at all. That tuber on the bottom is just the old tuber, but there's a nice new fat one to replace it. I've made it my policy to leave the old one in place and not break it off - unless it were to come off with virtually no force. Just plant the entire thing next year and everything will be fine. Whether or not it will flower is anyone's guess. Only the plant knows! -Ken +More E.Vincent Morano wrote: > My Amorphophallus koratensis had it leaf removed by the wind recently. > Its cold now so it just went dormant.
