I still have your info in one of the previous PM's, I think. How cold-hardy are the Pisang Klotek, I don't remember if you told me. I'm debating between getting one sometime soon and potting it or waiting until it warms up next spring and putting one directly in the ground. You have some pups from it now?
With our weather here you could probably plant one now and have it rooted before winter hits, or just keep it potted and then it will be rooted and ready for Spring. It's cold tolerance is about the same as my others. If we get a frost all the plants will loose their leaves but the pseudo stems and corms will survive. We've only had one frost strong enough to fry the leaves in the last 6 years here.

Give me a holler when your ready.
