Re: [Aroid-l] light levels for Amorphophallus

Bryan,

Mine either come up in the garden full sun in a southern exposure late May/early June (konjac, albus, dunnii, bulbifer) or are put there in pot at that time as they arise. Of course they're acclimated to that as soon as they sprout, and get lots of water while in leaf.
