The yautia lili tubers I purchased at a hispanic grocery store for $1.98 a pound are sprouting large colorful shoots. I got such a great response about the sun needs of amorphophallus in tuber production that I thought I'd try a related question here. With the X. violaceum, I don't really care about tuber production since full sized tubers are available for a pittance. The question is: what's the ideal sun/shade balance to produce the largest sized and most colorful leaf in X. violaceum? I expect the first leaf will be fully open in 2-3 days and I want it open up in the appropriate amount of light so that I don't have to acclimate it at all. Thanks.
