Karsty Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Love it! Zamioculcas get those bulges on the leaf stems, I've often thought they were trying to form tubers within them. Would that make any sense? I've tried cutting just below them and using them for propagation. Still too early to say if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsty Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi Chris, I think you mean leaflets, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbreeze Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Never noticed those bulges on the Giraffes Knees produce anything. Amorphophallus symonianus have a bulge right at the top of the stem and some bulbils form inside them. Can get 2 - 3 new plants out of one of them. But the Giraffes Knees must produce a lot of seeds as there are lots of seedlings coming up all over the garden. However, I've never noticed berries/seeds developing, although I don't believe in spontaneous generation so must be seeds. They can also be propagated from leaflet cuttings.
