RE: [Aroid-l] titanum goes mainstream

Mine took 2 years (2 leaves) to get 24 inch span. Now at 5 it is near
ready to bloom (we hope). The corm is bigger than a basketball and the
leaf over 7 feet tall.

Our A. titanum is 22" tall and 24" span and it is 5 months of age, a
seedling.  I question an A. titanum of smaller dimensions being 'years'
old.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our aroid friends here on the board.

Bernhard,

I wish I could afford all three of them.  They are approx. two feet
tall and
had a span of eighteen inches.  Since I don't own a plant of titanum of
that
size, mine are smaller, I am speculating on their age.
