Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus koratensis problem (pictures)

From: ronmchatton at aol.com on 2008.11.10 at 13:15:40(18709) Erin: Do not cut off the bottom corm. This sort of thing happens often if dormancy comes early for some reason. The old corm will survive the dormancy and add to the food reserves of the newly developing growth next spring. Also, cutting into corms simply exposes areas that are now open for infection by pathogens and you shouldn't do it if you don't have to.

Its cold now so it just went dormant. But as you can see from the pictures, it looks like two tubers stuck together when it is in fact one. The bottom one was the original tuber. Interestingly the bottom part is the same size as it was when I planted it in the spring. It now weighs 13oz. Anyway, a friend said I should cut the bottom off. I am not at all comfortable with that. What do you think? Do you think it might flower for me next year also? Is prety heavy.
