Re: bulbifer bulb

I just remove them from the leaf and let them dry well and then store them dry until late spring when I plant them in potting mix. They always come up.

They seem quite resilient, so don't panic.....  I've grown lots and lots of them like this.  I would just store it dry along side of the bulb it came off of.... when that bulb starts to grow again, plant the bulbil at the same time.  It doesn't matter which way up, it will grow and make it's bulb so that next time you'll look at a normal bulb and will be able to tell...

Help - I have young Amorphophallus bulbifer plant, grown from seed,
and the current leaf has a bulbil , now about 1 cm, which is now off
the senescent leaf. I assume that I can plant this but don't know
when - immediately or in early spring? - and which end is up? No
particular growing point that I can see - suggestions please!
