Hello everybody,

I'm happy owner of 2 beautiful Dracontium gigas - tubers. After both plants have dropped your leaves a few days ago, I could take a look at the tubers for the first time. You have completely filled out the 15 cm clay pots and the larger of the two had something wiped out is probably on the edge and get a rotting body on the long side, under the fabric seems however intact. At one point the 'muddy' tissue penetrates but relatively far up at the center of the tuber. What should I do now? The bodies as best cut, treat with charcoal powder and pot again? I have fear of doing something wrong in the great plants and would like to inquire about me only once here.

Thanks in advance and regards,
aristoflora

Hi Bernard,.

first thank you very much for your reply!
Then I cut out tomorrow rough places, dusts it with charcoal and selfcare they then... the experience did you not long be meaty cuts with activated carbon air because it reeks... otherwise quickly under the ground the callus formation of in my experience (E.G. with A. yuloensis bulblets) is better than at air.

I took the tubers also only for the purpose of investigation of the Earth because the pot has become so small. As I said, it seemed Yes as the tuber under the mud tissue intact see how they themselves developed...

Thank you and best regards,
aristoflora

Hello

Here I am – the injured tuber did not survive the whole thing, was also just a Yes, but. The mother tuber is Yes more than 20 cm in diameter and produces tubers, which are located close to the 'main 'trunk and drive rosette of small leaves on the running belt.

Hi Bernard,.

so I can contribute nothing useful in terms of final size, have transplanted discovered... again in fresh substrate plant in October for the purpose of Division once out of the ground taken and the underground monster and just not the few roots damage. That was more of a random action, the Dracontium are so so hard over the winter to bring, and my big is now too big for the GWH with 2.20 or more. The next year will be interesting, I wonder how I next season to keep out the thing, flowered has failed despite the size also still...
The Dracontium pronounced periods of rest does not even, you have to watch only fairly well, he himself captured no pests, otherwise the whole shoots is free and the tuber greatly diluted. Growth stalled can also come then and as we saw on the attacked tuber, are then very difficult to rescue them, the tuber is built only slowly, but very quickly from. Heating pad or hot legs in my opinion a must, but as man that are without GWH...
