[Aroid-l] Amorphophallus henryi, koratensis, titanum's

From: ronmchatton at aol.com (ronmchatton at aol.com) on 2008.06.02 at 11:46:00(17675) Amorphophallus henryi isn't rare but it's not common either. At least one commercial source sells them (Plant Delights in Raleigh). Amorphophallus koratensis isn't rare at all and, in fact, is very common in the food markets of Thailand. Most of the folks on this list know Home who comes from Thailand to the Aroid Show every year and brings them in by the box full. You grow it and henryi just like paeoniifolius and most of the Amorphs from Thailand. Water and fertilize while actively growing and then they can be kept essentially dry during their winter dormancy. It's been said that koratensis should be kept dry but in the pot during dormancy, but I've successfully managed them both potted and stored out fo the pot with equal success.

I just got some from ebay and Ive never seen them there before. Also, there will be about ten titanum's going up for auction on ebay with in the next few hours, most likly by the time this is posted.Ships world wide. Oh and what about Amorphophallus koratensis? Are the rare and does any one know how to properly take care of them? I got some of those and they didnt have any care instructions. Is it safe to assume that all amorph's from Thailand should be cared for the same way? I tried searching the net for answers but there seems to be an incre3dible lack of information regarding that.
