Hello.
I guess the Titanum is good hands in hot summers in the open air.But what are you doing in cool summers or when in August the temperature sometimes drops to 15°C.Where do you then stay with the plant?I guess you probably do not have a ceiling height of 6 meters.

Even if a ceiling height of 6 meters would be present, yet no Sun through seems. It is the ceiling is made of glass: ^ ^:
Ne now times serious. Most. is titanum not like Am.konjac which draws in the autumn. This is a tropical species which has a very strong growing season. It is therefore impossible one am. titanum duration in the free to grow, because the temperatures anyway go early autumn in the basement.

Hello titanium to friends,.

the problem is more that of course only after a few years - or after a few.

The titanum in the rocks in Hannover has grown by mid-2001, when she had the rather cute height of 15 cm up to the fall of 2006 to leaf levels of just under 2 m.
The bulb had a Durchmnesser of about 30 cm and a weight 3.9 kg.
It is still running and I'm already very excited about the new paper will be how much.

I'll try to make some pictures and will set then they...

But back to Stefan's question:

Yes, titanum is great, but if you keep them at home, and it, say in the case of favourable is ° C in winter in the winter garden at 18 â, had one sure 10 years enjoying and as much years to save for the expansion of the winter garden....;-)

There may also be the way to keep a titanum even longer if you treat them with Stauche agents from professional horticulture. These agents inhibit the cell stretch and are mainly used to shorten the internodes of potted plants, so that the plants will receive a compact habit.
In theory, they would have to inhibit the Längenwachstum of petiole of Amorphophallus.
But so far only theoretical musings.
I must try this out, noh take before some years...

MfG,
Bernhard.

The real problem is simply that the rest period is hardly available and likes to mess up the device Additionally the Wachstumsrhytmus. Other tropical species generally still somewhat adhere to the normal rhythm and may be a problem with us slightly less (many report for example of good successes in A. gigas), perhaps you can pull the rest something long since sometimes with slight cooling (e.g. by the friends of the like practiced).
But by the titanum as good as any I know operator reported that it makes what she wants and can be simply squeeze in a summer winter rhythm. If it becomes too large for the window sill or the halide, it means goodbye or build greenhouse.
I have the latter decided to, of course brand self made. Let's see what comes out, material is already bought...

Opps, since Bernhard was probably faster...

I can add but do something to Stauche resources:
The media inhibit not only the internode growth, but at higher concentrations also the plant growth as a whole. Also we must not forget that the Amorphos have actually no right internodes, instead there are indeed the tuber. I am da rather sceptical.

Anyway...the Titanum is the only Amorphoart of which I think distance.The proportions are too huge for my humble Verhältniise. : lach dead:
If I don't begrudge me a speeding tickets, I would like to see a flowering success.I bezweifel the in normal room culture very much. :???:

The temperature and the place is a problem, but but the humidity is much more important!

This type requires a relative Leuftfeuchte of 70% - 80%.

Now tells me times like her out there want do it in the summer, without a huge greenhouse.

Gruss Stephan

Try you so can it. She will certainly then dried-up leaf margins get, if not even more.

In a House, the humidity is usually higher than outside.

Hi Volker
Frankly, all the others are too rough for most things.
