Re: A. bulbifer

From: Rand Nicholson <writserv at nbnet.nb.ca> on 1998.03.13 at 15:36:14(1954) Hi All: My Amorph bulbifer (thanks Wilbert) has just gone down after a seven month run. This is the first time I have grown one and it came up from a rather featureless 2.5 cm teardrop shaped tuber. The tuber now looks like a "normal" Amorph tuber, round and fat, with a relatively large main growing point and several smaller pup bumps ringing the main one. Living up to its name, it produced an odd, warty looking 1.5 cm tuber at the top of its stem and, except for the attachment scar, damned if I know which end is up. I have now seen three distinctly different versions of a bulbifer tuber, all from the same plant. Just when I think that I am getting used to the weirdness of Amorph behaviour ... (I have a [now some] psycho konjac that rarely behaves the same way two seasons running) My question is: How long a rest period does bulbifer need before it starts up again and when should I plant the new leaf offset and expect it to sprout? Okay, that's _two_ questions ... Kind Regards, Rand +More Rand Nicholson New Brunswick Maritime Canada, Z 5b
