Re: A. Konjac growing season : A Question (fwd)

From: hallsa at sirius.com (Steve Hall) on 1997.09.03 at 00:49:00(1148) Dear Aroiders, I too would appreciate a response to Craig Smith's question because I find myself in the exact situation. My konjac and bulbifer tuber remained dormant all summer, until last week, when they awakened and started sending up leaves. I too am worried that they will go dormant before the tubers can regenerate to any significant size. I live in San Francisco and the days are growing shorter and the winter rains will begin in about 2 months. On the other hand my sauromatum have been up since April and are now just starting to wither. Thanks, Steve Hall +More >Aroiders, > >Craig Smith sent me the question below as he did not receive any >responses from the list when he originally posted it. I cannot, with any >authority, answer Craig, except to recommend praying.
