Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum seedling query

From: "StroWi at t-online.de" StroWi at t-online.de> on 2006.03.07 at 08:08:56(13914) Hi Paul, I would say that is quite normal that titanum sends up up to 3 leafs before it enters the first dormacy. At least I have seen the with some of by babys. Have a look here: http://www.aroid.org/gallery/strolka/index.html +More I have to add that this plant is from tissue culture, however I have read this about seedlings in an austrian Amorphophallus-forum as well. I would not repot your vigorous seedling in order not to disturb the roots. I find the root growth of my plants always poor, but this may be also due to a suboptimal substrate. Another point aginst repotting is that these Amorphs are often shown to grow happyly in rediculous small pots and as they do so, it is probably only possible by regular and heavy fertilizing. If the feeding is poor they will show deficiency symptoms before they starve to death and then it is always early enough to look after propper fertilizing again. Good growing, Bernhard. _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
