Re: Anchomanes difformis var.welwitschii


Fascinating Wilbert, thank you! It has come to my attention that there are two different kinds. One with a long rhizome and one with a short and squat rhizome. Mine has the short and squat rhizome. Does this sound like hte correct name for the one I have?
Here is the picture provided on the sellers website. http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/naturalselectionsexotics/the-61/aroids%2C-amorphophallus%2C-tuber/Detail
Thank you,
Erin

Provided the identification is correct (!!??), it is a species (A.
difformis in all its forms and varieties) from the wet forests. So you can
put the rhizome in soil, keep it modertately moist and wait untill root
growth starts (if there are no roots on your specimen). Then intensify
watering a little untill the leaf emerges, then water freely.

Cheerio,
Wilbert
