Well i am excited to say that my amorphophallus konjac with a tuber of 7 inches diameter is going to flower for the first time ever. As of 2 weeks ago i just happened to look at the tuber and i thought to myself, Is it just me or did this shoot up a little. First it was almost unnoticeable but now its obvious that it is going to flower its now grown a little over 2 inches and the shoot seems to grow a quarter of an inch a day at least but its still got some time to go as its only 4 inches high now. It is continuing to grow and the daily growth chart shows that an increase in its daily growth as days go buy. I have only recorded now for 5 days. It has a thick shoot that is starting to get a bright pink tip in the middle. Its still got some time to go. I figured i would post about this as it should be interesting to see such a huge flower for those who might not know what this plant is. Some on this forum i know that you grow them also. As it is a mentioned topic on this miscellaneous plant forum. A picture will be posted possibly in a few minutes of it so far.

this is very common in konjac. For some reason they seem to get to a certain age and divide into another one but this means 2 smaller shoots as compared to 1 giant. The thing is that they usually do this after they flower and i am keeping my eye out. they say if you chop the smaller shoot off while it is small it wont come back and it should continue as one.

nope they are easy
just plant the bulb in the a pot in april give it sun and when it tells you that its done at the end of the season pull it out. The bulb increases drastically each year. Give lots of miracle gro. The plant actually in the fall snaps in half thats when you know its going dorment. If you seen the picture of the big plant in the summer on the first page of this topic picture it as someone breaking it in half almost exept it does it itself when its out of energy for the year.
