Hello dear friends of Amorophallus
the spring is imminent. I was in the basement and say my A. konjac BB´s. All together with huge tubers, 3-5 KG, still in deep sleep.

What I don't like in the Großer Knollen: the flower! In March they slide off, then eventually bloom late April, when it's too hot, the spectacle within 3 days is over.

Then it will end July, partially even August, until the leaf is pushed. So, 12-15 weeks, where nothing is, too long for me as a hobby gardener, standing on plants with large/great leaves are between flower and leaf.

ZIch let that Berhard/Mr. Titanum contribute wrote where giant was capping/section of the flower bud of Typhonium venosum indian to that.

Now my question to you experts: when I cap the flower of A. konjac early, contributes to the earlier shoots of the leaf?

Curious about what you mean.

We're going to do: have in the basement are 2 very similar-sized A. konjac, the same age to the 3000 gr both equal weight. I'll be at one of the flower caps, the other I bloom. Plant both again in the outdoor bed, not far away from each other, so the same intensity of the Sun, water, fertilizer, etc. Then we will have a result.

Will then document everything and post the info here.
Greetings
Andreas

I start the same project, but of course also with IG. Got safely to 20 tubers that are three years old and bloom every year. As it is the case that after flowering relatively quickly the leaf drives off but. Here's my concern then, what weighs the tuber at the end of the season.
