Amorphophallus

From: MJ Hatfield <oneota at ames.net> on 1997.06.05 at 19:22:20(800) Two questions please. One of my A.konjacs sprouted early and I planted it in a pot, it grew too tall and I planted it outside. We had a cold, wicked spring and it suffered, Now it only has a stalk left. Will it resprout? Should I dig it up or leave it till fall? (zone 4) The same thing happened with an A.bulbifer. It is still indoors, in a pot, and very tall reaching for the sun. I would like to plant it outdoors but fear the wind will take the stem (petiole) down. Could I bury part of the stem to make the plant more stable? I know that some plants don't mind having the stems buried and some react poorly resulting ih death. +More MJ Hatfield
