About a foot and a half-I like plants that seem to have already formed and just need to expand (-:

In case you missed it(in a previous post)-they look like this when they flower.

Jim- How hardy is the plant?
Posted : 18/06/2012 11:04 am
Jim - I dont think I asked how big the corm was when you planted it. It should double in size this year, and pop out a bunch of tiny cornletts that will be new plants. It shoudl flower when its the size of a large grape fruit/pommello.
Paul - I think zone 6, most likely 7. Needs exceptional drainage, semi shade all day. Other wise lift and store like Canna/Dahlia etc
EDIT
That Zingzibar Miooga is looking damn fine!

Jim has Amorphophallus Komjac I think, while the Titan arum (cant remember the latin name) is an amproh as well, just a different one....

I think they bloom in spring(when big enough)...this is the part that makes it all possible.
So cool to see a plant extend out like a antenna and already be formed!
Here it is this morning-I think it grew(at least) 6" over night.

IGnore the previous post in your other thread LOL
Those are a GOOD size to start with. You might get them to flower next year.
You going to try to over winter them outside?

No,I think I will dig them up-although I have 4 so I may try one
just so I don't lose them all to one method of storage....if we have
a wet fall that plan may change.
I took another picture(s) this morning-the others are coming along quickly too!

fantastic growth. Where do you get these bulbs (corms?) from?
