Amorphophallus gigas dormancy?

freetibet
17 years ago

I have a young plant of A gigas. It recently tried to grow a new leaf, but this shrivelled in bud. The main leaf has now detached itself from the tuber (but has not withered). I unpotted the plant to check the tuber. It is plump and hard with no rot. So I threw away the leaf and repotted the tuber.

The question is whether or not A. gigas has a proper dormant period, and if so how to treat it during it.

With best wishes.
