Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus Dormancy,

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" <hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2010.02.17 at 08:37:31(20614) The hybrid can be stored dry. Polyanthis is a mixed one, sometimes they accept drought very well, sometimes they tend to shrivel. I would keep it in soil. Remember too that this species has a strong will to flower immediately after leaf senescence sets in, sometimes when old leaves are still more or less present. So when you have a mature specimen, don't withhold watering when the leaves start to turn yellow. After flowering, it will have to be kept dry (although every now and then I find that they will thrive again quite shortly after flowering.......). Hey, Amorphs are easy !!!
