From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2011.02.06 at 10:32:00 Jude, have a look at these pages http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=3D11&t=3D309 ( You might use a translation service for websites if you can't read German, but the pictures speak for themselves) And some more here: http://www.exoten-forum.de/vb/showthread.php/23867-Amorphophallus-durch-Blattstecklinge-vermehren I doubt that leaf cuttngs are a efficient method to propagate titanum. As far as I understand, you need fairly large leaf parts to succeed. At the Berggarten in Hanover, Germany, I saw some experimants to use leaf cuttings about an inch wide and they failed. If I see it right you need at least leaf parts 1/2 ft to1 ft ( 15 to 30 cm) long. On page #2 of the thread in the exoten-forum it is mentionend that the titanum leaf cuttings strayed green for about 13 to 14 month and the first needed 15 month form the start as cutting to grow a new leaf bud from formed tuber. And you should take into consideration that this was achieved under (warm ans hunid) greenhouse conditions in a botanical garden. OK, it works, but I would not call that very efficient....

Could somebody help me learn of an efficient way to successfully start new plants from titanum leaf cuttings? I'd love to try it! Thanks, Jude --===============2855124847852695325==
