Hi James, there is no guarantee that it is really titanum; all I can say sofar, that it looks like one. To be sure you have to wait for following leafs with the more distinct pattern. Regardig the leaf cuttings you could search the archives of the aroid-L and have a look here: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/aroid/msg101003472796.html?7 in this forum; scroll down and look for the link to the pictures in the German forum. People who did leaf cuttings in titanum use normally pretty large cuttings, 20 - 30 cm or in "Emperial" about one foot long. I have in mind that it was posted in the aroid-L that the success with smaller cuttings is poor. However, I have never tried this myself... Good growing, Bernhard.

We had one flower at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoam City in September. Gorgeous plants! However, I'm an amorphophallus fanatic. I can't wait to plant my A. konjac this spring. The odor doesn't last but for a few hours, and the plant is, in its habitat, pollinated by flies or carrion beetles. If you've ever grown voodoo lily, they are pretty odiferous, as well. Cool, huh?

They're an equatorial plant from an area where there's not much change other than more or less water (rain). If this would be its first dormancy then it's probably been going a few years already. As a seedling they don't go through dormancy but after a few years maturing they do start to. Let it take its course but don't let the soil dry out, the tuber could die. All nutrients are withdrawn from the leaf as the plant goes dormant. The leaf becomes a more noticeable yellowish green and wilts away. Colour change is fairly even across the leaf.
