Hello

I have an Amorphophallus laoticus who this summer from 30 g to 200 g has shot up.
Now I have the tuber (30 cm long), after I've unearthed them healthy, there are two days in the living room and she is dangerously soft now, similar to old potatoes. I have similar also in breeding arms of A bangkokensis.

Did I do something wrong? How you store your A. laoticus? I had you vlt. are too warm, got some summer temperatures here? Now it is the other tubers stored at approx. 18-20 ° C.

Thank you

Michael

Hi Ortwin,.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I shall now lay the tuber in moist Sphagnum.

But what do I do with the bangkokensis? Is that so closely related to paeonifolius, which is to store dry?...

Love greetings

Hello

Thank you for your quick responses. You have been right, the tubers are dry and warm, and are simply too quickly dehydrated. I have still not in Sphagnum given, first in a storage crate with other tubers and kept slightly moist; due to the number of tubers, the rLF holds constant at 67% and a temp of 19-21 ° C. It was already enough to restructure the laoticus and bangkokensis tubers. Only the tip of a small branch at laoticus is still slightly soft. If you clean "dries", then that should not bother me.
It has already surprised me how quickly through minimal changes the tubers again came to power.

Love greetings

Hello
does anyone know ne, how long the tubers of A. be laoticus?
Mine now has 30 cm and I wonder I must plant them in what pot?
Thank you
Michael

Hello together,
the Palm tree pots seem slightly too short, as long as I'm not sure, the tuber can still be as long, I had there Yes less than 10 cm game room.
A sewage pipe pot I ever with an A. linearis (less than 60 cm), had unfortunately I got the talk, as I in the tube had unfortunately no feeling for casting, so I wanted to avoid, especially because the Laoticusknolle is significantly thicker, and so there is even less room for substrate, but maybe I'll try it again...
Because of the stability, I had no problem, I had the pipe are in a clay pot, I had around filled with marble grit around the tube. Was perfectly despite the 80 cm. I'll look whether there are such pipes also in wide.
Do you think that 50cm including drainage and edge of the molding will be enough height?
Love greetings

Hello

My tuber has light approaches by branch, if this continues, then I got over in the autumn might... Still extreme in the elongation of bines A. seems linearis, but I have unfortunately wrecked.

If it continues so, then is really too little, 50 cm she now had 30cm square, and has lifted the entire Earth root ball 10 cm out of the pot! There still space for a dense root package, and the drainage layer had to be under the tuber.
Alan Galloway write is a good idea, the tuber comes from him, as he has sent to Europe.

Love greetings
