Am. titanum cutting experience ...

From: Anne Olivier <a.j.olivier at pl.hanze.nl> on 1998.02.03 at 14:56:14(1896) Hello list, In november someone mentioned making cuttings out of Amorphophallus leaves, the experience mostly came from bulbil forming species like Am. bulbifer. +More If I recall correctly, then no one had info on Am. titanum cuttings at that time. I thought it might be a good idea to try this for myself and should I succeed then I would have created a nice 'backup' plant in case the parent plant died. I used only one cutting taken from a leaf that was turning yellow anyway. Now after 3 months I have a thickening of the stem of approx. 5 mm and 2 roots growing out of it. At this time there is still no sign of any leafs forming, but I am patient. I hope I can comment on any developments in that direction in the following weeks ( months? ). Well, I suppose other people have more experience with this plant, but I thought I'd let you share in what I am doing. BTW the plants are from seeds I got from Wilbert, so I think it is an Am. titanum allright. Bye from the Netherlands, anne
