RE: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus coaetaneus

This is an evergreen species, with leaves that may stay on for 3-5 years.
Underground, each new tuber remains and finally a chain of 2 - 5 tubers
exists. You need to refresh the soil every 2 years and keep it in growth. It
is NOT hardy at all. 

Cheerio,
Wilbert
