Hello!

Then, I start but equal times with my first question:
Can someone give gallaensis tips for the maintenance of Amorphophallus me here?

I bought last spring two tubers (source Kenya).
As then showed the first bud I have planted tubers in a mixture of lot pumice and somewhat fertile components. The plants were all summer on the balcony (South side).
Unfortunately, the bud is then somehow stalling, say it has done nothing more to themselves. No matter whether well watered or relatively dry, it happened nothing more. I've uncovered the tubers always times again carefully to see whether they are still intact. There were the usual white roots and tubers were fixed.
In the autumn, after cleaning up a copy but this has moved then to exorcise.
Shortly before the tide has developed, the same is collapsing unfortunately.
Here too the tuber was then check again but she was still just as firmly as always.
At the second plant, the expulsion came just 5 cm from the ground and stands there since then as unchanged.
It is still connected to the tuber.

So if anyone here has experience with this type, I would be very grateful for advice.
If necessary I can provide course photos.

I'm not sure of course, that it really is the so-called species. I've got them simply under the name.
About the whole time a little Visual to make, here a few photos of the tubers:
2011 shortly after purchase


2012 updated picture today


The tuber, whose Blatt anyway stood until shortly before the development


The bulb with the stuck red


Also it seems to have formed small Cormels at the time


Search for intense I have at least found times first and a few photos of Herbarium documents on the net. The existing images are not meaningful however.

40° C?
Since last summer (at least here in the Ruhr area) was quite rainy, one reason may be that course, why no sensible expulsion took place.
However, since you bring me to an idea, in the expanded attic I have a sloped window in South direction and up it is quite warm in the summer. Perhaps I should make time the tubers to the window. Could this bring what?

All right.

Will it then try and report here on the further career.

Hello together!

After I finally have something chatted with the seller of these tubers at a vegetable market, and in the meantime also the book about the African Amorphophallus species have read through some new information:
In the natural site, this type grows more (so the full midday sun will be rather counterproductive) in the light shade.
Secondly, it seems to be (short day plants) a kind of "winterwachser".
According to seller they are driven off with him only in the autumn. That fits in perfectly even with my meager experience (where they halt unfortunately are stuck with me).
Somehow I had with my two tubers the impression, that they again want to exorcise and therefore I've embedded times them in fairly dry substrate. Now they are in the cool living room and I wonder what is so.

Hi Stephen!

Nice to see that your bulb drives.
My both is unfortunately still nothing to see. I will just keep waiting and hoping.
