Questions

From: MJ Hatfield mjhatfield at oneota.org> on 2001.01.07 at 04:47:08(5818) Howdy, I have some questions about Amorphophallus. A. odoratus - In Aroideana, Vol 19, there are no cultivation notes. Should the dormant tuber be stored dry as with A. yunnanensis? A. opertus (and other species that should be stored in the soil) - I continue to have trouble determining how dry or damp the soil should be when these species are dormant. Dry or a minimal moisture? If they should have minimal moisture, how do you determine "minimal"? When making cuttings of Amorphophallus, the vegetative growth eventually rots and a small tuber forms. How should that very small/tiny tuber be stored? Do I wait for it to begin vegetative growth before potting it and watering it? +More Thanks. MJ Hatfield
