Amorphophallus Propagation

From: "WEAVER,BILL (HP-USA,ex3)" bill_weaver at hp.com> on 2001.10.11 at 21:43:03(7623)
Someone on this list had previously mentioned the possibility of
stem (or more precisely petiole) propagation of Amorphophallus
species. I was wondering if I would have any success with leaf(let)
propagation of some of the larger species? Specifically I was
planning to remove a single leaflet from my A. titanum, treat it
with rooting gel, bury the cut end in potting soil and put the
whole thing in a plastic bag. Would I and up with a new plant
or just mush?
Thank You for any help
