Doreen,

Hi, are you talking about Amorphophallus Konjac?


I was told to use a lot of decomping leaves, compost and garden soil with
tons of slow-release osmocote mixed in. When it goes dormant in late
October, unpot it and store the tuber dry. As soon as the new growth
appears, repot it in the old mix and add some new potting soil with a
handful of osmocote again.

This one is said to be hardy here. I did plant mine outside in the ground
last fall and did not dig them up. We shall see -
