Gigantomanen,
here:
small Amorphophallus gigasI had end last and this year offered little gigas.
I would like to hereby suggest that those who at that time got speeding tickets in this topic / thread about exchanging their experiences.
I am of course very curious, how fared you with the nodules.
Myself I now actually quite good experiences with the art, although it is considered often too difficult.
In brief my culture conditions:
Substrate: standard soil (70% zersetzter little white peat, 30% clay), perlite, Holzkohlengries (0-4 mm); approximately 1/3, but sometimes less charcoal, lately more often pine bark (7-15 mm)
Temperature:
in the living - room temperature (approx. 20 ° C, chilly at night)
in the winter garden: on a heating pad in the foil tent approx. 22 ° C; outside the foil tent will it in the winter garden at night ever up to 16 ° C cold
Location:
rather partial shade, but in the winter garden the plants sometimes from 13:00 to sunset get full sun.
Fertilization of course regularly!
Rest period: warm in slightly damp substrate or slightly wet / damp Sphagnum / peat moss
With these conditions my biggest has a bulb diameter of 5 cm now; the height of Leafs of the plant was recently estimated at 70 cm and the diameter of petiole about daumendick.
This tuber currently stocked in slightly damp Sphagnum and hope that it soon is root and drives off.
Some plants grow in the Berggrten in Hannover and 2011 looked:
It of course some pn / personal messages have been replaced after my offer here in the Forum, but I'd appreciate it also briefly reported, so that all of the experience can Prof animals.
Happy reporting, Bernhard.
