  [Aroid-l] Initiation of Flowering in Amorphophallus
From: Thomas.Croat at mobot.org (Tom Croat) on 2008.03.24 at 17:04:57(17210)
Fellow Aroiders:

My Director is anxious that we flower Amorphophallus titanum
which we have had here for many years. It has always been an
embarrassment that we, among all the institutions in the world
practically, have not flowered this species even though we have had the
species from the earliest days. Anyway, I am now asking for advice from
those of you who have flowered this species if you know of any way it
can be induced to flower. I know that many of you do not actually want
your plants of Amorphophallus to flower but if you have any ideas about
what would induce these "lazy" plants of mine to flower (short of
killing it) please let me know.
