Dear Michael,



Let`s wait on other opinions from the experts (Lord P., what say thou???),
but if I were you I`d TRY to increase the day temps to the high 80`s, SLOWLY
increase watering, and stand back!!! That sucker will knock your roof
glass off!

It's about 6 months since our A. titanum flowered. We did not pollinate it
so


the tuber is still quite large. After flowering it, of course, went dormant.

It's being kept "on the dry side" in a greenhouse with 75F day 70F N. Still
no

action. No rotting but no action. Should I be concerned
