To answer both questions: Yes, it is ok to direct others to
us; in fact, I think I have two more dormant nice sized
titan tubers. Secondly, I have been posting full daily
pictures of all our titan blooms. They are accessed via our
home page or at

I directed a guy on another forum to you that is interested in Titan Arums, I
explained you charge per size. He's very interested! I hope that was okay?
Thanks

We have our 15 yr old plants in a variety of pots. We have not been encouraging
full growth because of space constraints and I was frankly caught by surprise
when this latest 'little' one bloomed. It defies the conventional wisdom that
corms need to reach 30lbs. Many places that use injection fertilization are
producing much larger plants, although not necessarily blooming. Also, like most
geophytes that I have played with, once you start treating them nicer, they
respond and grow; i.e., stunting is not permanent.

Love the photos on the website but I am astounded by how small the pots are
that you grow these giants in.
Is that deliberate - a method to encourage flowering?
Cheers and well done from Down Under.
