Your garden looks great in the background!
I bet I'd have a field day!

I've seen pics of that species get really big, keep it up and you'll have some monsters!
Sounds like you the care down fine, a lot of amorphs can handle that treatment just fine, some can't...

They say you can just cut them in 2 or more peices to make more, ive never tryied but should.

One thing i have noticed is that usually the pups will seperate themselves by the end of the season, so I dont mess them til then.

Ive also heard and seen that sometimes the bulbs will have pups that dont split off, they usully look like a pinky toe stickin off the side of the bulb somewhere.
If you leave them on, sometimes they do grow a pup the next year, but other times the big leaf will just consume it like it does with the most of the rest of the bulb.
Crazy huh?
We all have heard of animals eating their young, but plants?
I cut them off a week or 2 before planting, that way they survive better, and have time to scab over before planting.

If you would like, I could send you a konjac to try, when the time is right, seems like shipping them with leaf on is not a good idea.

thanks for the leaf pics too! theyre shootin up fast!
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
