Premature amorphophallus dormancy

Posted by ironious 8/9 (My Page) on

I just purchased a large A.henryi that was already fully grown for the year. Its about 3 years old.The guy I got it from said that he was growing it in full sun. So I put it in full sun only to have it get badly burned. I know that some amorphs can be grown in full sun if you start them there because I have done it before. Anyway, It is starting to get vertical wrinkles on the petiole as is it is starting to go dormant. Does anyone know if it will just go dormant for the season and be fine? Or is it possible that it will die? About half of the leaves were sunburned.

Maybe his full sun is in Michigan?
One of my konjacs got really burnt last year after tree trimming. The leaf died but a couple of weeks later it sprouted a new leaf and did great. Hope yours does good. Wish I was more help on this.
Tally HO!
