Re: A few miscellaneous Q's..

From: Dana Scholle <dana at homecom.com> on 1997.06.17 at 02:55:19(857) Krzysztof and gang: Heya, thanks for the response. Actually, I think I pulled the leaf off sort of my Konjac on accident trying to repot it, but I must admit that what I saw looked somewhat soft and bruised looking so I was a bit concerned about it. Now, what I *did* do intentionally, was rip off that softish outer layer to se what was underneath and there's a healthy pink and green tip poking up from the tuber, so I am feeling better about it. I have it in the pot so that the sprout-y thing sticks up out of the dirt so that it can keep dry a couple days . I really can't wait to see that little guy grow. I really wondoer both how big it will be when it leafs out and when it is mature. right not the tuber is about two inches across. On the dracontiums, since I had to wait a couple days after getting the tubercles, I put them in a paper towel and put a little water on it and let it sit overnight. (I did this twice) and each time it was pretty much dry by morning, but at least on one species a few of the tubercles seem a bit softer and mushyish, and I was surprised by this, because this could not be any worse for them than a couple days with rain in nature. Is this normal for these tubercles? Most of the rest were just fine when I planted them last night. Do these have a dormancy period like Amorphs? Or should I expect something soon? Anyway, take care everyone!
