Amorphophile,
already much has been written about substrates here in the Forum, especially when it comes to the difficult ideas large species from the Indonesian region.
At i-Bah precisely a member offers 4 titanum, whose Knollen look really top notch.

I have not commanded since I titanum and my substrate (unit Earth (2/3 white peat 1/3 ton), perlite and Holzkohlengries (1:1:1)) very fine come, but I wrote to the provider, as the exceptionally good quality of tubers has so impressed me, and developed a very interesting correspondence.
The most important is the experience, has the bounty323 with Seramis as substrate gemnacht - with consent from bounty323 I'm guessing now my Guttenberg keyboard further (with the three keys: CTRL, c, v)...

Oh, and even a small addendum, after I attended was in the break in your forum and I've seen that A.gigas and other 'difficult - rot-vulnerable' species probably make some to create. How about the pictures in annex... Yes, different titanum in reinem(!) Seramis
May be that I like as a laboratory biologist to very controlled conditions, but I think my tuberous prove me right. Seramis has as small an insider tip for hewittii, gigas, decus-silvae and titanum in room culture turns out to be. All I'm saying...
Best regards!
P.S., where one thing I tell still: on it fertilizer Seramis goes on (humus-free). The plants are pushing out brighter than for example in the mix of the BG Bonn and green only in the weeks with Wuxal completely after (see the sheet of a 3-week-old sheet - the further away the tissue of the conductive vessels, it is the brighter). However, in addition to this 'disadvantage' I've seen a so healthy and large roots and tubers system in any substrate. As I said, my bulbs and a 0% decay rate give me right...

Hi Mary,
I have split the message well in two, otherwise not enough space
...
Your substrate mixture looks familiar to me. Think I've seen that years ago on aroid.org. It seems to work well, doesn't it?
And Yes, if you want to you can tell others by the Seramis at Amorpho, also works with the images. Always beautiful, if this can help, that the plants are less susceptible to rot.
It has begun times Seramis additive with me, because years ago Perlite/Vermiculite as water-permeable addition went out and I only Seramis in the garden standing around me had. That worked fine in combination with standard soil. From then on, I have also started my dormant tubers of the damp substrate rather than in pure Seramis store (again, keyword controlled conditions). So I could store it damp and every now and then look to see whether they drive, without having to worry that any pathogenic active and/or some of the substrate eradicates the tubers (map).
Due to a high load of work I missed then, that once two tubers full most drive were. No more interfere and cancel any whole roots, I've left them in Seramis then and was very pleasantly surprised by the result. Basically I use normal pots/jugs, which I fine gauze (keyword mosquito nets for the window or similar) lay out and then fill with Seramis. The gauze serves simply as a barrier, that trickles down the granules do not through the water extraction holes.

I pour more penetrating, so do not accumulate saltscan and excess are washed out. So I can also check that the whole substrate is fully saturated with water or the fertilizer solution. My knowledge also three layer clay minerals are 'reverse bake', which can store the pH quite buffers and limited also crystal lattice foreign cations/anions, say store in Seramis probably next to clay. At least our friends say geologists... I trust that even blind
a measurement with a pH-meter I could do but in fact. So far seemed the value but not harming the plants.
I fertilize to do during and after the shoot (i.e. in the first 4-8 weeks) at every watering with Wuxal universal fertilizer (1 ml / l), then as in the instructions from Bonn. I explain to me the 'greening' the fact that Seramis is low in nutrients and/or the Amorpho have difficulties with the assimilation into the clay granules. Both would explain the strong root growth as a kind of compensation reaction seems however does not negatively impact on the size of the tubers. Basically you use with young plants also nutrient-poor soil so that they evolve better then – under nutritious conditions -... because you know you sure better than than I. So or so, for me, this principle works class.

"Hi mr.titanum,"
After I've switched almost all plants on clay granules, I had virtually no losses and spare me from casting technically much time because of the water storage capacity of Seramis. Than a Übergießen is hardly possible, because water prevents the air permeability and the nature of the inorganic. I think just the last point, plenty of moisture in much air inside the root, seems particularly hewittii and decus-silvae to please. Both types I years ago as seed time received and managed, that nearly 90% of over 2 to 3 years in the substrate mixture of BG Bonn are rotten. In Seramis no tubers are entered into the two species more me.
I'm generally a fan of Seramis nor do I get proven a Commission for all the publicity here, but for me and the (room) culture of the tropical Amorpho has set itself of which the granules. The only major drawback is the price, which is already almost rude. Also other people already seem to be come to inorganic substrates. I don't know personally but still there, but in Indonesia seem to use only fine pumice, unless they hold A.titanum in the pot and keep not planted many gardens. Pumice-technically you have thanks to the whole volcanoes, any cover problems
So now the novel is long enough... until the days then!

So, the way I see it, Seramis now unimagined growth will experience...
I start that equal times...
Happy growing,
Bernhard.
