Lisa,
A. konjacs are fairly easy to grow. You can take them out of the soil for
the winter
+More
months if you wish. As soon as the bud tip starts to grow and turn pinkish
in
color, plant it in a good potting soil and feed with Peters 20-20-20. The
offsets can
be cut from the mother plant when dormant. I have also removed the offsets
when
they were still in leaf with no problems. They do generate offsets freely,
which is
why I have over 400 in various sizes. Mine bloom when they reach about 10 to
12
pounds. I have some in full sun and some in full shade here in Pennsylvania
and all
seem to do well. I am sure you will be getting more advise from other VooDoo
Lily people, so good luck.
Bob
