A. konjac Tubers

From: ManFont at aol.com on 1998.10.17 at 03:24:15(2700) Previously I had written about and asked questions regarding the active growth expectations of A. konjac in South Florida. My first plant has gone dormant and I have removed it from the growing media. I was both fascinated and amused by the unusual growths...only a mother could love this thing ;-) This one had come from a tuber ('John Riordan' clone) offered by Dewey Fisk as a donation to the International Aroid Society. It went from a small garlic clove size to that of a large grapefruit in one season! It has what I assume are offsets, five of them. These are only about the size of a US quarter in diameter. Do you think that this larger tuber might actually flower this coming Spring? Should I treat the small tubers differently initially until they reach a larger size? +More Luis Fontanills South Florida USA
