Tommy, wonder if you can share your growing condition, media and your story behind your plant. I got attracted after listening to a discussion between Ch'ien and David Goh in May.

Interesting thing is Lim (piscesilim) mentioned that someone in BM is making noodle out of this corm. Wonder how it taste like.

Soil mix is miracle grow with a lot of extra perlite mixed in. I got interested in these after seeing one on the web. Bought my 4 pounders off ebay.

Yep, one of my suppliers showed up in his truck one day with a dozen stems and corms in the back. When I asked (thinking he'd brought them to me to grow) what he was doing with them he laughed and said, "Dinner"!
Here's a good sized one about to be transplanted by my workers into my yard a few years back. It was growing in a construction site and was about to get slashed so I took it home!

Shawn, this the plant you told us about? Jail break story... that you thinking someone died behind your work place?

[shawnintland]

Yep, this is the one that smelled so bad! But it only lasted about 4-5 days of stink!

[bactrus]

So you burried the corpse as fertiliser?

Shawn, The looks of it, you're using only earth or whatever soil you find where you're planting. Also, it is planted in a small area with not much room for the root to spread.

Tommy, you're growing your Amp in just a pot with normal soil mixture?
