Re: konjac and sunlight

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1998.07.13 at 14:05:38(2461) Thanks - that's perfect. I guess I'll put mine in a spot where they get sunlight till a bit before noon and dappled light after that. As I said, my concern for this year will not be the size of the plant but rather the creation of the largest tuber possible for next year. I live on Long Island and this season has just not been very hospitable for these plants. Nights were still dropping into the 40s until the 2nd week of June. Everything is way behind (but finally catching up.) A local friend has been growing his in bright filtered light. Although that plant is getting prettly large, the petiole has been a bit floppier than expected. That's what led me to believe that it needed more more light than either of ours was getting.
