Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Amorphophallus titanum finally makes a move, 1 by tropicbreeze

My small titanum that hasn't been dormant since "birth" is determined to stay awake. Last year it had 3 leaves at one stage and finally ended the year with only one. But now it's developing a new one so I guess the old one will drop off soon.

I took 2 leaf cuttings last year and one withered after a while but the other is still going, although not looking the healthiest specimen. But it must have formed a tuber to be still alive so I'm assuming I have another plant. Hopefully more will strike for me later so there'll be enough plants to start trying some direct in the garden. I've been warned that there are nematodes in the soil here, nematodes just love A. titanum.
