This looks so really bad, especially the right bulb. The lower parts of your turrets are not used up old tubers are shriveled. I've seen something only pictures in the net, and I had something like the formation of a turret in the first year with ulcers. Only it wasn't comparable with yours. Since there were no remains of the old tuber. It was but to see which part of the tuber was formed before transplanting and which afterwards.

Such turrets formation occurs in Konjac I guess if larger tubers sprout very late after flowering. I saw had pictures of triple towers, where each new tuber was smaller than the previous bulb.

Occurs just to me that I could observe similar in Zantedeschia in plants with very short vegetation periods for different reasons.


The modified fertilization can be the reason if it leads to the wrong time to root damage due to eutrophication. Only your post reads like this that you had this turret education even before the revised fertilizer: there I'm guessing rather combination of substrate, fertilizer, and casting behavior. I had observed this year both on the window sill - root damage in each case of ulcers and Bulbifer -. However without turrets.

Hi Klaus,

I don't think that the fertilizer is the cause, but otherwise I agree with dung beetle.
I have harvested and such tubers.
I mean the weather was always blame = too short growing season.

Sauromatum - in the garden - whenever the summer was short and bad. i.e. later beginning, cold, wet, early autumn, I've harvested I few such tubers.

Amorphophallus - in the basement in the House - when the tubers had already begun to grow, and then the weather outside so warm has become, that the external thermostat turned off the heating in the apartment. The temperature dropped to much for the plants. The summer was then poor Sun hours I have such tubers harvested.


Greeting Olvi

I can join the, I know that by myosuroides, which can expel Yes several times per season and very short turns out the vegetation period in the autumn then.
It may be in small species but possibly also because, that the "old" tuber, due to the formation of the small blade is not used up and then almost grown if it is large enough.
Even if it looks weird, that does not detract from the quality of the tubers.
