Re: Amorph turning yellow!

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.10.03 at 18:12:03(5509) Miguel, That doesn't sound too good. Now paeoniifolius is a strong beast but only two months of growth is erratic. Brown undersides of leaves doesn't sound good either. Is there a small animal working it? May have to look closely with a hand lense. There is a way around this but not without risk: if you are sure the leaf is going to die, boost the plant with a fertiliser and that may incite it to produce a new leaf. Normally an Amorphophallus will retain a leaf from 6 months (quickies) to 18 months (big'uns like titanum).
