Dear Don,
For my DNA-research I have to cut Amorphophallus leaflets . Just for fun I
kept some of these leaflets in water to see how long they will stay green.
Now I have got leaflets of three Amorphophallus species, which are green
since october and have rapidly developed small tubers with roots. I do not
know whether they will survive a transport into soil, for they are still in
water.
