Neil,
Out of curiosity, where did you obtain your seeds? I recently (well a few m
onths ago) had a single A.titanum seedling do this as well out of a batch o
f 5. It didn't seem to produce a tuber during this time for me while the ot
hers did, and I had taken it out of direct sunlight for fear of it getting
burned by the sun. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with it not produc
ing a tuber, mainly because I'm unsure it could. As far as I had understood
it, these albinos will eventually die (I believe the "Shattered Glass" A.k
onjac variant produces a number of albino offsprings that live for the seas
on, but die without making a tuber). It was just odd as I had never heard/s
een of it occurring with other Amorphophallus species; not to say that it d
oesn't happen, just that I personally hadn't heard about it.
The albino A.titanum I had eventually died with barely a recognizable tuber
, but I knew it wasn't going to grow. I don't know if you can feed enough n
utrients through the soil to get it going, but because of how much is produ
ced by the leaf, I would suspect feeding directly through the roots won't b
e of much help.
