Dracunculus starting to grow *now*?
Ok, so I gave the dragon arum another try and bought a bulb in spring (maybe 2" / 5cm in diameter). Planted it and kept it in my greenhouse all summer long, where it did absolutely nothing. Now with fall ahead, it's finally unfolding its first leaf...
So what am I supposed to do with it? I'm in zone 7 so it's maybe two months here before frost will kick in, if at all. As far as I know bulbous aroids, this will result in a bulb far smaller than the one I originally bought. I don't have much experience with this species so no clue how long it takes to regrow a decent tuber.
Or should I maybe try to keep it growing indoors? I guess light would become a problem then.
So what to do? Any advice welcome.
TIA!
