Default Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?

I guess one way to pump more energy into these guys is to put humidity domes over them and breath some CO2 into those domes, but I'm not sure if that is worth the effort. It seems to help with my venus fly traps quite noticeably.

Anyways I hope I can get these hardened off to outdoor conditions in a couple months. I see that you have amorphallus planted in the soil. Aren't they only supposed to be given sterile soil?

I've heard that amorphophallus titanum is prone to soil pathogens so I've grown them in pro-mix so far.
