Amorphophallus konjac

2002

This tuber was about 2 cm in diameter. It was the last week of  May and it didn't have moved yet. After taking these two unsuccesful photos I put it into a pot.
A month later it looked so. It was 25 cm tall.	Top view of the leaf. About 28 cm in diameter.
The petiole's patterning.	The tuber was 4 cm in the end of the season and it produced three 1.5 cm offsets.

2003

Just like the previous year, it emerged in the beginning of June.	In a sunny place it grew 27 cm of height and the leaf's diameter reached 31 cm.
All the three small tubers put up leaves.	After the season the tuber was 5.5 cm in diameter and had many offsets.

2004

That year the biggest plant didn't grow much. It was 28 cm tall and 32 cm in diameter.
14 plants grew from the previous year's tubers. From now I won't count them because I began to sell them.

2005

It moved on the first day of July	The largest plant was 40 cm tall.
