Hi Bernard,.

I don't know about 500 g. Somehow you not grow with me. May be also due to that I think all outside in the garden. Might want some heat.

Greeting
Andreas

Hello of Andreas,

then I am Yes apparently but not the only one who can do on monster size in konjac...

Perhaps it is in the micro-climate or latitude - if I remember rightly, Oldi somewhere also comes from southern latitudes of in Germany...

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello everyone
The southern latitudes of Germany and A. konjac
I laber times just before me:
Location in the rain shadow of the North black forest. Name of straw and Wurmberg. I live in a 10km-wide dry strip which gets even 700 mm of rain a year.
The last two years I had the luck that no storm caused wind damage. Both years had a good autumn (wine-growing regions). 11 different orchids on grassland flowers around my place of residence.
And in my Gewächshäuschen Konjaks (among other things



Beginning of the year 2017
CA 750 tubers (mainly very small)
Flowers in March above. 3 open counterclockwise 2 right. 50:50
even though I'm working with a clone.
Pollinated. Flowers are 5 days. Then bends the spadix - which
Wilted flower.
The curiosity WINS after 14 days without sight on the seed level.
Flower opened - I G I T T! --------
All fertilized flowers (4) equal. Spray bottle strong Jet.

Plant the few remaining tubers: spent Earth by the gardener (costs).
Many buckets, tubs and pots. Lot of holes drill. Sack spreading lava
drainage a bale of peat a half kilo of blue. And early April are
the tubers in the ground. Everything in the winter garden. How my wife is happy!
Six weeks later in the garden. It is but not much to see. End of may
look for good weather around one-third of the plants out of the ground. Ever
larger the tuber the sooner (a few days). Exceptions... The tubers
start with fruit to shrivel and they show root approaches. I
put all in a large bucket and put it to rest in the garden.
The photo is from mid-June.

In June, there were a couple of nasty wet and cold nights. Only plus 4 degrees.
That cost the lives of about 20% of very small.

July and August were somewhat mixed but no longer cold
Picture of the 6, August


Actually, I had expected with birds!


31 August last casting. The September and October were nearly dry.
Frost was there towards the end of last year not at all.
But before it got cold - everything in the winter garden. How my wife-!

The harvest begins with the arrival in the winter garden (end of October).
Where I see wet earth is from plantlets.

Hi Klaus,

a very nice report! Thank you for this!
Very nice front said the fruit stands...
Then I would like... also a wine-growing regions, but since I will have to wait probably, until it gets so warm in Lower Saxony near Hanover...

By the way - your wife knows the story with the chess board and the number of grain from field to field to doubling...???

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Only one thing left to say-

I agree with Bernhard Klaus - respect

Super report. Thank you for that. If you want to get rid of seed, I would like to consider trying. I have tubers and especially daughter tubers enough, but no seeds...

Greetings Ralf

Hello everyone

By the way - your wife knows the story with the chess board and the number of grain from field to field to double...
HA!
Doubling each year seems to me still bearable. But the head of an offshoot from say times 25gr we will in the first year
good position a second leaf drive, grow on loose 200gr. This offshoot tubers form 2-4 of 5-10gr.
actually not earth shattering. But one next year. The 200gr Corm grows (as has happened with me) on 1200gr. Together with her
found 15 25Ablegerknollen from 20-35gr in the pot. Not reminded of the problem with the chess board.
This reminds me of lemmings or vermin. I thought it all over Germany with Konjac not free yet
to replant! The global warming come only!
In the rush of planting
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

well compound, exponetielles growth--could determine sure a konjac formula someone here in the Forum, which is mathematically gifted...

The planting out would I possibly carefully - the kind could prove to be invasive...
Trouble with the usual suspect environmental associations and authorities, where appropriate...

Even if i-Bah squander - we had there years ago once a "comedian" who has bought hundreds of konjac nodules from a forum member and that then when i-Bah among other things as titanum, kachinensis, decus-silvae, hottae and beccarii sold and thus more than €1000 taken...
so off to the compost, even if it is difficult...

Happy growing / composting, Bernhard.

Hello
NA, comedian I wanted to no longer call, but since the match appearing labels for it certainly against forum rules, but at least the decency violation would, I leave it better.
If we had also a chemist with corresponding know-how as well as a mathematician, you could make Klaus, also sponges from the tubers; You can sell themselves better as Konjac tubers.
Michael

Good day together
Yes, Bernhard. Not a good idea would be free to plant out my clone really.
But what I'm more afraid is the uncontrolled spread of seeds.
I have eight given last year so that no berries birds missing.
The Japanese speak of now 30 varieties of A.konjc in the field cultivation.
Of those "two breeding good workable" should be. Say: are good variable.
Who knows with what kind I me here suggest around. Possibly could be
one of the seeds actually on a ' wine-growing regions ' match - so beware.

And what still drives me to: again, I read of tubers which get smaller from year to year.
Somewhere I read once that seedlings are strong as the offshoot of the offshoot ...vom offshoot.
Whether but when Amorphophallus from Corm to the daughter bulb an aging occurs I know not.

Greeting
Klaus

I now don't know if this fits in here, and whether I should post this. Are my konjacs still in the basement and when I read here so I should pick the tubers in the cold?

Love greetings

REDDI

Hello
so I always wait until the shoot begins, and pot them directly.
Greetings Ralf

Which fertilizer you actually take. And when?

Hello REDDI,.

that no one answers at once, is to remember one that fertilization is a broad field and many factors, mainly depends on substrate (nutrient buffer capacity) etc and such a question can be answered hardly just.
Maybe it is too easy or too close many, just to write fertiliser xy from then until then in the and the amount so and so often and then fertilizer vwz...

As a beginner, fertilization is also a book with 7 seals, and it's sure hard to find matching question...

In addition, much has been written so that at some point the desire is missing, that to write again.

In such a case, the search will help:
http://www.Amorphophallus-Forum.de/index.php?form=search

in which you even with this assistance further is:
http://www.Amorphophallus-Forum.de/index...ELP & item = search

If you eg + enter konjac + fertilizer, you can find much...
alternative would also be + konjac + fertilization only fertilizing or fertilizer or blue interesting and productive...

I copy a time a couple left friends, found please just read with an appropriate search -...; Sometimes you can find the selected posts on the 2nd or 3rd or... Page of the threads...

Liquid fertilizing of Oldi I personally like best, with which it has reached goods konjac-Monster (in 1 link on page 2, post # 21...), but depending on the pot and plant size, it does certainly 1 spoon blue 14-tägig...

So, enough written, here the links:

Happy reading, Bernhard.

Hello
is it actually normal that the bract is white instead of Red during shooting? The dyes made later?

Hello
Yes this is normal. Know it's not really more like light green with dark green points

Here, the first 2 Konjac tubers have swollen buds. Stored tubers are a 28 g and a 30 g gravity at room temperature.

The vegetation seems so slow to get into gear!
Michael

Others also show at room temperature of stored konjacs to drive still no institutions. In the cool storage as expected also nothing can be seen. It is also curious that the 28 g tuber last year was the last that had pulled up their leaves and now also one of the first is again drives off. Output tuber weighing less than 3 g (minimum weight of my scales) and the plant was on a window sill in the hallway and pushed 2 leaves.
