Re: [Aroid-l] Zantedeschia

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2011.02.12 at 22:29:27 Dear Susan,   I live in Poland in zone 6b, so I must dig the tubers out in October and I plant them in April, so they are dormant about 6 months. They grow in the ground in pots while Z. aethiopica grows at the edge of a pond, with all the roots and rhizomes submerged.   Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan B To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 2:22 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Zantedeschia The colored Zantedeschia  (that's for you, Marek) hybrids should be watered and then let dry out quite a bit.  They can't take the water amounts that Aethiopicas can. Aethiopicas are very happy growing at the edge of water or in a bog, sometimes even in water- the hybrids would rot. Your friends plant will turn yellow and die back, check the bulb at that point and let it rest for about 6 weeks before starting the growing cycle again. The hybrids are summer growers, maybe that's why it's a little puny right now.  I forget where you live??? _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l No virus found in the message.
