Hello

I have purchased 2004 (!) a tuber of A. decus-silvae autumn - together with A.gigas.

A. gigas has to cast out (as far as I remember) begun in September 2005. until she had a complete screen it was already winter. The screen is beautifully dark green and intact. I very much hope that the plant is a new and possibly also some larger Corm...

A. decus-silvae had resisted all. She was done also in the summer of 2005 on the balcony at high air humidity, no response. I thought then end of the winter somewhat dry it, since she has shown no signs of growth - the Central Bud was intact all the time. From and, and she increased minimally and a Brown mini leaves was blasted off.
I was damn scared that she way schimmelt me / fault.

There followed four weeks of high temperature and humidity in a heated propagator. And, since then a (!) pretty thick root shifts very slowly above out. About 4 weeks ago I had to plant then the bulb, so as not to compromise the root. Careful watching to showed: the Central drive is growing - slowly. :)
(Probably the tuber pushing need very high temperatures, is also commonly nothing unusual at tropical tubers). : idea:

Regards, Thorsten

Update: gerde plant unfolded the screen. Picture follows shortly.

The plant has almost had her umbrella.
In between she grew so quickly that it is tilted me almost out of the pot: always to the light out and then of course loose substrate in conjunction with the cavity (mother tuber resolved?). Oh wei oh wei.
She like A.gigas has a disproportionate petiole and one compared to the tuber. A A.konjac bie of this Tuber size would be much smaller, perhaps half the size.
