Re: Separating pups

From: mburack at mindspring.com on 2001.06.13 at 15:01:11(6700) I have seen these questions on A. konjac, and I have to answer....people have to realize that konjac is practically a weed....as far as removing offsets or "pups" it really doesnt matter....the only way I have ever lost a konjac is due to rot... When the plant is dormant just rip, break or smash the offsets off......those things are practically unkillable. aroid-l@mobot.org wrote: +More > Greetings Aroiders, I also, am interested in the answer to Carol Ann's query as to the best time to remove the pups from Amorphophallus konjac. I have been offered the pups of two mature flowering plants. One is in the garden and the other is potted. Both have over a dozen babies each,and are in fairly dry soil. The main flower stem has dried off and been removed. We have just entered winter here in New Zealand and are experiencing frosts averaging minus 2deg. It has been an unusually dry summer - drought conditions in fact, and now we seem to have gone to extreme with periods of heavy rain and early frosts.
