Re: [Aroid-l] disappearing acts (Amorphophallus)

**Susan B h*@yahoo.com**

Dear Tsuh Yang,
This has happened to me as well, with a large konjac
tuber that grew a leaf over 5 feet tall and probably
3.5inches in diameter  (152 cm and approx 9cm).  I dug
up the tuber in fall and ....nothing.  Mine was grown
in the ground.  At the time I thought it had put all
its energy into putting up a large leaf, and didn't
have time after that to get carbohydrates or whatever
built up to form a new tuber- needed a longer growing
period.  I don't know- it was very strange.
