That is too cool. We've got a number of them in the green house at Binghamton University with petioles about my height and equal in spread, so I hope they will send up an inflorescence in the near future. The new titan arum went from 6 to 45 lbs in a year and a half so that is quite exciting. Good luck with the seed crop.

Wow, a 20" diameter tuber must be quite impressive!!! The tropics would be an awesome place to be for these!!

Klavier....glad to hear the plants are doing well in Binghamton.....you must be nearly ready to graduate?? I have been lucky to keep my titanum very small for 4 years now.....I keep them poorly watered and in small pots (12" diameter) and that way I can enjoy the plants rather than having to get rid of them......a 45 pound tuber would not be very practical in a home, but a nice 4 foot petiole can be enjoyed for many years without a lot of fuss!!

Aroideana, my Dracontium prancei continues to do fantastically well and even though I also keep it underpotted for practical reasons it has a new 5 foot tall petiole that has just formed in the house to replace the old one (the old one has not gone down yet) so I am quite pleased with that. Nest spring I will move it from its 8" diameter (20cm) pot up to a nice big 12 inch (30 cm) pot to let it have some room to run!! Of course, the D. polyphyllum continue to grow well and 2 unknown sp. from Brasil are also doing well so some of the Dracontium have proven to be pretty reliable for me :o) Dan
