HI Dave,
The titanum is doing great, and the automatic watering system worked like a charm while we were gone for 9 days. It's 11 ft tall (from the bottom of the pot), bumping up against the ceiling of the garage, with parts of the leaf (petiole?) hanging over the rails for the garage door (see the pic with my daughter standing next to it). I still have the plant light sitting on the edge of the pot facing up since there is no room above the plant, and it seems to be working.
I'm starting to think about dormancy and next year. Has anyone trying cutting back on the watering to induce dormancy? It would be much easier if it was dormant over our coldest months, as I'm thinking I could heat the garage so it was a minimum of 65-70 degrees, rather than 80-85. With respect to repotting, Tindara said the bulb could double or triple in size in a year (I should be so lucky, growing it in a garage!), and they also recommended 6-8" between the bulb and the side of the pot. That's going to be one big pot!
