My Amorphophallus linearis is still active. I don't want to disturb the plant to see if the tuber I received from the pbs exchange has grown and made new offsets. I found this online description of propagation by leaf cuttings (https://www.juniperlevelbotanicgarden.org/propagation-of-amorphophallus-by-leaf-petiole-cuttings/). However A. linearis is not mentioned. Besides that never done it before on any kind of Amorphophallus. Is it worth to give it a try at this time of year (end of summer). Any other suggestion how to proceed are welcome.

I received this Dioscorea discolor early this year from a PBS EU exchange. After staking the the main shoot aborted it took awhile but now some side branches do even better To my surprise the big leaves on the main shoot are much bigger but also have a different color. Guess that is just young versus old growth. Given this success I want to grow other Dioscorea species besides the ones I started from tubers I found in Asian food stores. Anyone growing these as well (in the EU) and want to share a tuber (possible when plants go dormant)?
