Re: [Aroid-l] I need information on Amorphophallus

From: "Russell Coker" <cokerra at bellsouth.net> on 2008.10.29 at 16:33:24(18687) Ken, actually I agree with you completely (damp + cold = mush). That's why I suggested withholding water and ease the plant into dormancy when the weather begins to cool. I understand that this will be more important later when the plant reaches an unmanageable size. My original tuber went from being a three gallon pot sized plant to something that looks like a green picnic table umbrella in 2 seasons. If my plants were in pots instead of the ground I have no idea where I'd be putting them to extend the growing season since I don't have a greenhouse. They don't exactly fit in the kitchen window. As for Ty's frost, we had our first last night with a low of 34 degrees. That's record breaking for us. My plants in the ground still look like July as they are under a live oak canopy - but who knows for how long. And wouldn't it be nice (and helpful) if people writing this wonderful list would tell where they are and provide their climate zone when they share their experiences and/or ask for advice?
