WOW, those are lovely! So healthy looking and growing so nicely. Looks like your climate and weather conditions are just great for them.

How old do they need to be to make the little bulbils? Mine hasn't done that yet. Mekos -- http://cubits.org/newbeeschat/ http://cubits.org/Theseedtraderscubit/ http://cubits.org/craftycubit/ http://cubits.org/amorphophallus/ Quote | Post #412864 (7)

I just ordered one from Tejas Tropicals. What kind of potting mix should I use? Composting and vermicomposting Quote | Post #413085 (8)

Susan, is the Bulbifer or Paeoniifolius the one with a bunch of bumps on the stems? Petitole. My name tags are faded off and I need to re-tag them.

Bulbifer is smooth, and Paeon is sometimes bumpy. But, many get a little bumpy when they are starting to go dormant, when the petiole starts to get a little flat on one side. I just looked at our 10 day forecast and we have some nights in the 40s coming! It rained yesterday and today so I'd better get the Amorphs inside... ugh, so much work to do before cold weather! I would say that was paeoniifolius but if you could get a better photo... http://lakesidecallas.com/ Exotic and Rare Plants and Bulbs~ Calla Lily World~ Quote | Post #423266 (12)

Top of it. close up of top. and this. here is a different one. I think this Sumawongii and another different one. This is Thiensis I got from you. same A. Thiensis Konjac And I have one I think might be the A. Galbra outside.

Yes, that first one is probably paeoniifolius, because there are no bulbils on the leaflets. Your plants look nice and green and healthy! http://lakesidecallas.com/ Exotic and Rare Plants and Bulbs~ Calla Lily World~ Quote | Post #423520 (14)

Thanks, it is nice and shiny and growing good,and it has the bumpy stalk. It is around 3 feet tall. Actually about 38 inches tall. My Konjac is not shiny at all and has a smooth petitole/ stalk and a little taller. I'm still trying to ID the one outside. I'll find a new picture for it tomorrow and see if you think it is A. Galbra. Would this be my Bulbifer? It is trying to go dormant right now.

Hard to tell! Their leaves look so alike at a young age. From the petiole I'd say it's another konjac. Bulbifer has a pretty distinct white and green markings. http://lakesidecallas.com/ Exotic and Rare Plants and Bulbs~ Calla Lily World~ Quote | Post #424208 (16)

Thanks Susan. I appreciate all your help. And with so much going on today, I didn't get the picture of the one outside to show but will try later. It is too dark now.

I've never grown galbra so I wouldn't be much help there, but maybe someone else would be! http://lakesidecallas.com/ Exotic and Rare Plants and Bulbs~ Calla Lily World~ Quote | Post #425280 (18)
