Likely just went dormant....easy enough to check the tuber to see if it is still OK. Why did you have it staked just out of curiosity?? I've never seen a reason to stake an Amorph.

On a different note: Do you know any nurseries there in Mexico that can legally ship Dracontium soconuscum to the U.S. since these are from tropical southern Mexico?? I would love to give this species a try if I can get some decent size tubers imported......for whatever reason I have a tough time with little bitty offsets.

Best of luck with the titanum :o) Dan

thanks dan. will cross my fingers. staked it back when it was hurricane season. don´t know any nurseries of that kind.

cheerios.

My titanum goes semi-dormant in the winter. Since I grow my amorphophallus' outside I normally provide support, as during thunderstorms strong blasts of wind have snapped petiols and seriously leaned them over in the past. A 6 ft. tall A. paeoniofolius(sp) with an 6-8' wingspan on a 3-4" dia stem is kinda an unstable structure.
