Great Lakes Gardening Balcony Gardening Aroids

Stupid, blasted konjacs!

6 years ago

Planted three corms up this spring. None came up and considered the possibility they just rotted away. Discovered today that all three of the stupid things are sprouting NOW. My growing season is over as fall is fast approaching. I do not have room in my apartment for them. In past years, they made a great balcony plant because they would be dying down and going dormant by this time and the corms didn't take up a lot of room when dug up to winter over indoors.

These guys have a mind of their own sometimes. I have not quite figured out what triggers them to come up and go dormant. Usually they are more or less on schedule but I have had odd things occur too. Can't really give good advice on what to do at this time. Thankfully mine seem on schedule this year and are yellowing now.

I love them too. Mine haven't really grown much in size at all the past 2 years. Maybe not enough fertilizer I suppose. It gets nearly all day Sunlight. I probably start it too late, mid spring typically. I think I'll try starting it late winter this coming new year and heavy feed it.
