Re: [Aroid-l] Blooming requirements for Helicodiceros

Thanks Christopher,
I put mine under the bench to keep them dry, I have so many plants crammed in there that I sometimes move too quickly while watering and water ones that should be kept dry- so I try to hide those from me.
Maybe this year! I'll move them to a sunnier location.
Thanks for the tips.
Susan

=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A =0A=0A=0A =0A=0A Good morning, Susan! =0A=0A =0A=0A Helicodiceros needs lots of sun=0Ato bloom. They also love fertilizer. When they are growing, I keep mine in full=0Asun. I repot every other year after they go dormant. The media I use is=0Apeat/sand/pumice (grit) with lots of dry compost/leaf litter mixed in. During=0Adormancy I keep them completely dry. When they break dormancy, I give them lots=0Aof water (I leave them out in the rain, and if there is no rain I do not let=0Athe soil completely dry out), but I never let them sit in water. They must be=0Awell drained. Using these methods each plant gives me anywhere from one to=0Athree inflorescences per year. =0A=0A =0A=0A Happy days! =0A=0A Christopher =0A=0A =0A=0A D.

=0ASubject: Re: [Aroid-l] Temperature requierements for Helicodiceros =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A =0A | =0A Bernhard,
=0A I am certainly no expert when it comes to this plant, but I do have a few in=0A pots, so I will share what I know! Here in Tennessee, USA, they start=0A growing in December and die back in hot weather, but I think they last until=0A June or July.
=0A My pots were under a potting bench, getting almost no light and only a little=0A water dripping from the pots above. I pull them out when I notice them=0A starting to grow.
=0A Mine have never bloomed, however.
=0A They are in a greenhouse that gets down to about 50F (10C) at night an from=0A 50-100F during the day (depending on outside temperature and sun).

=0A =0A Aroiders, =0A =0A from the temperatures and seasonal rainfall=0A on Sardinia I guess that Helocodiceros grows from late Sebtember to April or=0A May with the maximum of rainfall in November and December and temperatures=0A down to 8 =C2=B0C (46 =C2=B0F) in December to February. =0A =0A I would like to know, wether the low=0A temperatures in the growing season are neccessary or if Helicodiceros could=0A be grown (and flower) at higher temperatures as well. =0A =0A Looking forward to any comment, =0A Bernhard. =0A
