  Re: [Aroid-l] Temperature requierements for Helicodiceros

Bernhard,
I am certainly no expert when it comes to this plant, but I do have a few in pots, so I will share what I know!  Here in Tennessee, USA, they start growing in December and die back in hot weather, but I think they last until June or July.
My pots were under a potting bench, getting almost no light and only a little water dripping from the pots above.  I pull them out when I notice them starting to grow.
Mine have never bloomed, however.
They are in a greenhouse that gets down to about 50F (10C) at night an from 50-100F during the day (depending on outside temperature and sun).

Aroiders,


from the=0Atemperatures and seasonal rainfall on Sardinia I guess that=0AHelocodiceros grows from late Sebtember to April or May with the maximum=0Aof rainfall in November and December and temperatures down to 8 =B0C (46=0A=B0F) in December to February.


I would=0Alike to know, wether the low temperatures in the growing season are=0Aneccessary or if Helicodiceros could be grown (and flower) at higher=0Atemperatures as well.


Looking forward to=0Aany comment,
