Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
Update on an A.konjac in the woods.
Plant shown is four feet across and four feet in height. These are hardy in my zone.. Bulb is grapefruit size and planted 6 inches below the surface. Plant is irrigated and fed 16-16-16- granular 2x per year. Plant is in full shade; however the plants in mostly sun show better growth and look a little bit more "aged" at this time of the year. These plants did not emerge until early July; however the bulbs which i overwintered inside @ 30-50 Degrees emerged early May.... so dormant temperature does make a difference. .

Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
Whoooa!!
This one wants to pop... Keeping the average basement temp of 58 degrees...... for most of the temperate bananas plants and all the other stuff>>> This temps now fluctuates +-10 degrees depending on the external temps in the spring months. This Aroid is in the area where the banana plants are kept for the winter. I have sister plants out in the yard.......which will pop in June -July??? This plant is a few months too soon in the photo...I moved it outside to the garage where the temps are 10 degrees lower to slow it down. April.....? maybe sooner. Bulb is a market size Konjac.

The larger bulbs in the front are market size because they will bloom a couple of years before the small ones in the rear. The small ones can be considered as "new potatoes" which in reality command a higher price in the states. The tropical fish market is the same way. A few more pics can be found here. .

Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
I moved all plants to a cooler environment- 20 f and delayed a few plants from prematurely emerging. But they do what they want to do......Bloom.

Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
A. bulbifer
This year was a good year for this plant. There was multiple shoots off the bulb. I picked it up two years ago at the annual fall plant sale at Heathcote Gardens in Port St Lucie Florida.. Plant was from Gardino Nursery. This is the third amorph I got from them.... A.bulbifer by Hostafarian, on Flickr Last edited by cincinnana : 09-16-2016 at 12:43 PM. |

Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
This plant will grow in zone 5/6......
I was very surprised at the size of the plant. The plants were not that vigorous last year. A. Konjac by Hostafarian, on Flickr Last edited by cincinnana : 09-17-2016 at 09:25 PM. |

Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?
Had to move a few of these today.
When small they have a small footprint, but when larger they are like a deck umbrella. Konjac by Hostafarian, on Flickr Konjac by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
