Mmm, I love potatoes.
Nice pics. Is that bigger one putting out a second growth point?

I always thought that they formed new points through tuber budding. I guess there would be some variability among species, though. Good luck with them.

Good lord that is huge!!! I just bought some 2+ pounders, hope they flower next year.
What is "Pine Soil Conditioner" mentioned on the NS exotics site? I've never heard of that.
My Amorphophallus tubers always rotted in peat + perlite. If I get anymore I'm going to go light on the peat and ensure very good drainage probably 50% Napa grit and 50% peat clods. My Sinningia and Scilla bulbs seems to be doing good with this kind of mix.
What I hate about Amorphos is their strong attraction to light. One friend who came over years ago said of the Amorphos on the patio "what are they all pointing at?"
Tommy,
I have a young Konjac tuber and I have been waiting over six months for the small bud to do start to grow. Did you do anything to induce growth such as a cool temperature exposure??
