bring on the warmer weather!!!!!! :)
well the one titanum petiole remains finally sluffed off.. so i got to open my
christmas present !! :)
just a kid arent i..:)
heres a couple pics..
i cant remember what size this corm was originally.. i thought it was the
17# one..but its not.. im thinking it was around 7#..but i have 9 titanums now.and
i didnt mark anything down.. im a BAD scientist!!!
one thing i was amazed by are the massive roots on the corm..
?? is this typical of a corm going out of growth into dormancy??
i dusted the corm with cinnamon (just in case of any fungal growths..)
i'll pot it up again this weekend.. im keeping it semi moist in moisted peat moss.
i am going to put it in a larger pot.. i was going to put in in a 80 gal pot i ordered..but
i think im overkilling..and would kill my back..LOL so its going in a 45 gal pot..
its 31" wide..so hopefully good room for root growth..and "hopefully" corm growth!!!
this corm looks bigger than it really is..the roots are so massive.. the corm
is just under 9 inches wide..
