Re: [Aroid-l] A. konjac problems

From: Bonaventure W Magrys <magrysbo at shu.edu> on 2004.09.17 at 00:03:14(12202) Danny, I don't know what your soil is like but my konjacs like to be deep (over a foot down) in very rich, moisture holding, but still loose and friable soil. Mine is composted manure and leaf mulch worked into a sandy base. Try digging some up when dormant, and when showing renewed growth, place at the bottom of a very large pot (new tubers form on top of old ones) with this soil, or at the bottom of a deep hole and cover over with this. Fertilize the hell out of them as the shoots arise and fill out. All my Amorphs (and Typhonium) don't show leaves till late June/early July, though they may bloom earlier, and are usually killed down by frost late October.

Even ones that i have ahd for 3 growing seasons have put on absolutely no tuber mass at all. They usually come up mid winter and grow until mid summer. Is this too short a period of time for them to do anything? What is going wrong?? I desperately want to see a flower, and i am no closer to getting one than i was 3 years ago.
