disappearing acts (Amorphophallus)

From: piaba piabinha at yahoo.com> on 2006.05.26 at 19:47:37(14308) WARNING: the following is not suitable to the delicate eyes and ears of Lord P(ineapple). if you are him, you must stop reading immediately, under penalty of law. all others please proceed. my question to you amorph growers is: what makes an amorph plant grow huge, happily, for one season, as a matter of fact, grow so well that it completely depletes its tuber? i've lost two giant tubers i had of paeoniifolius and longituberosus. both grew sturdy stems, lots of leaflets, but to my surprise, after they went dormant, there was no tuber left. these were grown in pots indoors, not in a greenhouse or garden. +More thanks. ========= tsuh yang __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Esp, fertilization..... +More It is not understandable that a tuberous aroid does not grow a new tuber, if growing conditions and fertilization where OK.

From: Susan B honeybunny442 at yahoo.com> on 2006.05.30 at 15:20:52(14322) Dear Tsuh Yang, This has happened to me as well, with a large konjac tuber that grew a leaf over 5 feet tall and probably 3.5inches in diameter (152 cm and approx 9cm). I dug up the tuber in fall and ....nothing. Mine was grown in the ground. At the time I thought it had put all its energy into putting up a large leaf, and didn't have time after that to get carbohydrates or whatever built up to form a new tuber- needed a longer growing period. I don't know- it was very strange. susan +More --- "StroWi@t-online.de" wrote: > Dear tsuh yang, > > how where the growing conditions of the plants? > Esp, fertilization..... > > It is not understandable that a tuberous aroid does > not grow a new > tuber, if growing conditions and fertilization where > OK. > > Better growing next time, > Bernhard. > > -----Original Message----- > > Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 21:47:37 +0200 > > Subject: [Aroid-l] disappearing acts > (Amorphophallus) > > From: piaba > > To: Discussion of aroids > [naughty introduction deleted, Bernhard. > ty, sometimes you are a bad boy ;-), just like > me....] > > my question to you amorph growers is: what makes > an > > amorph plant grow huge, happily, for one season, > as a > > matter of fact, grow so well that it completely > > depletes its tuber? ?i've lost two giant tubers i > had > > of paeoniifolius and longituberosus. ?both grew > sturdy > > stems, lots of leaflets, but to my surprise, after > > they went dormant, there was no tuber left. ?these > > were grown in pots indoors, not in a greenhouse or > > garden. ? > > > > thanks. > > > > > > > > > > > > ========= > > tsuh yang > > > _______________________________________________ > Aroid-l mailing list > Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

From: "snowsexotics" snowsexotics at cox.net> on 2006.05.30 at 17:25:03(14324) I have a 3 year old titan. It measures about ' tall. When I went to repot it months ago, there was no tuber at all. I put it back in new soil and it's still growing. I haven't checked on the tuber.
