I planted my largest plant of A. bulbifer out in a bed with other tropicals in June. The plant ended up producing an inflorescence rather than the large leaf that I was expecting. Some of the references that I've run across suggest that this plant will often go dormant for a year after blooming.
So here's my question. Am I better off digging the bulb up & keeping it in dry storage for next year? Or will it absorb water & other nutrients, but not actively growing? It would be a pity to rot the bulb out.....
Happy gardening,
Dan
