Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Amorphs on the move, 0 by tropicbreeze

Despite being kept in a cool room my Amorphophallus prainii started to shoot last week. Although still winter, I decided to go ahead and plant it in the ground. A friend has a full grown one which grew up during winter. She didn't know what season it grew in so went ahead and watered it, and up it came.

I also have an A. paeoniifolius pup which emerged last week. Probably won't be long and they'll all be on the move.

My A. titanum is still going, unphased by having come through winter. Not sure when it's going to go dormant, no sign of it yet. Some birds have been roosting in the tree above it so it's been getting unplanned foliar fertilisation. Certainly hasn't harmed it.

The A. prainii just before planting.
