Re: [Aroid-l] Gonatopus soil tips?

From: Hannon <othonna at gmail.com> on 2011.02.01 at 22:41:26 =A0 Jason, =A0 Gonatopus rhizomes tend to stay within a few inches of the surface, even breaking the surface at times. It is a fat, compact rhizome that branches occasionally and=A0can "jump" the rim of the pot sometimes rather than circling the inside (it will do both). They are not fussy about soil. I use a sandy mix with some perlite and a little (15-20%) organic component. They require or benefit from a dry winter rest after they lose their leaves. G. boivinii seems to be better adapted to water any time of year. =A0 Dylan Hannon On 28 January 2011 20:48, Jason Sarine <jasondsarine@hotmail.com> wrote: This is my first season growing Gonatopus Boivinii and Angustus. Any tips for soil media? How long does angustus's tuber get? Does it need one of those super deep pots?=A0 Thanks in advance.
