Hello
to my konjak, I have come to the child as the proverbial Virgin:
At the end of February a large pot was given to me with an approx. 20 cm high "something" is, and the Quick Start Guide "can keep warm, no drop of water, surprise, another then later".
The "surprise" has sold approx. 2 weeks later me almost from my 2-room apartment: the flower was really BREATHTAKING! Luckily, I had an away date is after 3 days and then's has sucked fortunately no longer (otherwise the pot would be landed probably in the compost), but the bloom was already on the coincidence. As a whole IMHO a dubious pleasure.
With the "tree" (Yes Yes, I know: this is a single sheet) however I can befriend me: I can drunter points me all over (the "crotch" to lug height) and reach the top "leaves" with outstretched hand - and that in only 3 weeks growth - WOW! And really hypsch!

Now I am faced with the dilemma:
On the one hand the "tree" is to be next year again at least as high as this year (for the this year's Bud Yes the Schenker are not I 'responsible',).
On the other hand: a week stink in a 42 m ^ 2 - apartment I think not again through: explode: (since one fits now stocking of these sheets * jerking smilies).

OK, so I have outed within probably me from this forum as Banause - well.

Aim of the summer 2010 is so on the one hand to get the bulb, next year again to - produce a huge umbrella, and on the other hand before flowering in the apartment to be spared.
I'm guessing, it boils down to I sparingly dung, have flower-promoting fertilizer components wherever possible, and so on so far I have poured while diligently but still NIX fertilised!

Imagine the questions are:
What fertilization is beneficial for the flower (should I also avoid)?
What fertilization is beneficial for a large green bud?

Alternatively, I could have on the underground parking of my Outo romp flowering: secure frost-free, but not on 10°C in the winter. Then all house parties had what it;-) Is it too cold for the flowering tuber?

Thanks for useful hints, do the ' 11 to a gestank-free apartment and to a large parasol

Thanks for the notes.
Then check out the strategy for ' 10 /'11 so so from that I vigorously dung the rest of the summer, to the ' tree ' begins to collect. Then dig the Knolle(n) and the largest off, out; gestunken in the underground garage until they spring then down into the pot and in the home - and after the ice Saints out onto the balcony, because of the ' Stamm towards already heavily leans window. My S balcony has a glass roof, so large weather protection (except hair-dryer, which is full) and light from above, then I hope a straight growth.
