Amorphophallus question

From: jarrett at mail.teleport.com on 2000.04.09 at 04:02:55(4358) I have an Amorphophallus seedling of unknown species, about one year old, 5" tall. It has not gone dormant, at least not in my possession (about 6 months). Recently, it has started to look pretty bad but another shoot has emerged next to the first. Do Amorph. seedlings sometimes send out new growth before the old growth has died off? What is a typical potting mix for these? Unfortunately I don't know it's origin. +More Paul
