Thankyou , appreciate that. I try my best and am still learning but think the collection is doing pretty good currently

So ive been told the plant was originally created by jeff roberts in australia Apparently only two seedlings survived over here in the uk, one is held by chester zoo the other by james ellis who named it mammoth , it is a cross of (ventricosa x truncata) x veitchii - lowland

Hi the larger grow tent is (w x d x h) 4ft x 4ft x 6ft6 and the smaller is 4ft x 2ft x 6ft

Hi thankyou and glad you like the videos , means alot to know. Where are you based as im in the uk and only sell spare plants to the uk

@@penda1987 ye I am in the uk to

@angelawilliams5389 oh ok , well you can find me on facebook if you look for "penda buckley" and we can sort out from there :-)

It honestly depends on the weather. If they have their couole days of smelling on warm days then it can certainly be smelled from a few feet away , even more if wind is carrying the smell too. My biggest konjac is flowering now but hasnt been that bad as its been cool. Note that they only really smell for a couple of days anyway

​@@penda1987Yes, something that most people leery of getting these don't realise is that they only smell a fraction of a percent of the time you have them. Plus, if you really just don't want the smell, you can cut off the spadix

My konjac and venosum stay in my garage all winter just in a tub inside a load of wood shavings. I only bring the tub in if its going to be very cold i.e -4 or lower as theyre both pretty hardy. Our weather here in the uk has been really up and down this year with one of the wettest winters on record. Quite often its not the cold that will destroy a bulb but more a combination of wet and cold. Happy growing. I will post a video when my konjacs flower as the largest one is looking to put on a great sized flower this year.

@@penda1987 its my first time growing konjac this year, maybe im being too Caring towards the plants, i cant wait to see yours in flower, going to bea great but a short stinky show for sure. Just wish we had min 10c temps now, since every day is a shorter growing season..

Hi its a mix of kanuma, akadama and pumice in equal parts

Im going to film on a diagonal from now on lol

@@penda1987 😂😂😂😂😂

I have quite a few duplicates in there , i.e 4 x Attenboroughii x peltata so once ive seen a few pitchers i will keep my favourite and sell the spares plus there are some im not massively impressed with so they will go too clearing around 50 of the plants in there. I do plan to exoand the space, possibly getting a conservatory on the house later this year or next year so i can increase tent size. Currently i do also have a tent half the size next to this one , which is not full. There are also a few plants that i dont mind never reaching huge heights etc so each time they basal i will just chop back the main plant and start again :-)

@@penda1987i could not chop my plant, i want big plants! they regrow faster than the first growth, but still i wouldnt start back from basal, i want to see how big i can get them, then maybe after my death i could be choped off and feed to my plants....just kiding!lol! but i love big plants!
