[Aroid-l] aroid recommendations

From: Tindomul Er-Murazor <tindomul1of9 at yahoo.com> on 2009.01.14 at 16:48:20 Hello Marek, I was able to grow a plant sold to me as Typhonium varians under 6 T5, 54 watt, 4100K grow lights. So, it very easy I think to grow this species under artificial lighting. Typhonium, Dracunculus and other "coloured" tuberous aroids are insufficient to grow indoors. They require a lot of light. I grew a few years ago an Arisaema amurense - http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/arisaema/arisaema1.htm at home without additional lighting, just on the window and it bloomed normally. The easiest Arisaema I think is A. flavum but it needs to spend a winter in a cold place. I don't recommend Spathiphyllum if you are a botanist. All plants sold in the shops are cultivars. Best, Marek --0-808825116-1231951700=:61041----0-1725431972-1231951700=:61041
