Re: Amorph Konjac

From: Don Burns <burns at mobot.org> on 1998.06.18 at 18:12:20(2331) Dana, My konjac's are usually the last to emerge in my Amorphophallus farm, and I have always suspected this was the case because konjac is the "least tropical" of my plants. I don't believe konjac particularly cares for this hot and steamy south Florida weather. Your note said you had the tuber planted in a 6 inch pot, but you did not say how large the tuber is. My potting technique usually calls for a container diameter that is a minimum of 3 times the diameter of the tuber. You mentioned the use of "potting soil". The word "soil" to me means "dirt". You should be planting in a loamy planting medium that does not collect and hold water. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b
