These three Amorphophallus konjac are ones that flowered earlier this year that I chose to pot up individually after the blooms died. They had a late start leafing but have caught up with the rest of the plants. (The leaning is a normal lifestyle choice for them, no health problems.)

I lost count of how many plants there are this year. More than 80. Maybe more than 90. This year they have passed from the “producing some offsets” stage to a “Mickey Mouse broomsticks” situation.
