  Typhonium kumingense
From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2007.01.03 at 18:56:12(15035)
Hello,

I have seen a few references and photos of Typhonium kumingense, but it
is not on the Aroid web site. Is this a valid taxon? Where is it from? How does
one grow it?

Happy days,

Christopher

T. kunmingense is one of the many incarnations (and thus a
synonym) of T. horsfieldii, a species known from so many ecologies that it is
impossible to say what your plants need. When they are from China, I bet they
are from higher altitudes but never think they are frost-resistent. I'd
cultivate them as a subtropical, which suits all clones of this species I know
of. T. horsfieldii has a geographical rage from China, through
Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos, southward to Sumatra and
Java.

Cheerio,
Wilbert
