From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2011.01.26 at 06:27:04 Hi Jason, the general opinion is that titanum doesn't grow offsets. I am not sure, if I read it right, but I found this already some time ago: "Since 2001, the plant in sunny conditions, named 'Hyperion,' has thrown off some smaller corms..." cited from: http://plantphys.info/greenhouse/titan2007.shtml If that titan really grows offsets, it's at least a very rare trait in titanum. Maybe we get some comments......

I dug up one of my titanums that was going dormant to repot today and imagine my surprise when I found a second smaller tuber alongside the main one. It had a small second leaf all summer but I imagined it was just feeding the main tuber as I thought they did not divide or offset, but here we are. =A0Now I pose this question. The seller I bought these from grows their stock from seed. Could some genetic diversity have actually created an offsetting titantum? I guess another growing season is in order to see if it holds this trait. =A0Bye now. Jason Sarine --===============1667725118716162346==
