To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Dear Friends, It is well known that in a couple of genera of aroids, the shed or knocked-off leaflets can and will grow into new plants. The two best known examples are the notoriously weedy and invasive Gonotopus boivinii ( I wonder if this is the only species in this five-species genus that does this?), and to a lesser extent its relative, Zamioculcas zamifolia. I am looking for any and all information on how sucessful reproduction or multiplication has been achieved in OTHER genera of aroids by using small cuttings or portions of leaf (like it has been done in Amorphophallus titanum). Information which I need should include the aproximate age/condition of the leaf cutting used, the names of rooting hormones/powder that may have been used to coat the cut ends of the leaflets, and importantly what genera and species of aroid has this method been attempted with, and which were sucessful at acheiving rooting and new tuber/corm formation. etc. I THINK that there has been information published on this, perhaps in a back-issue of our Aroideana, so if possible I also like information on when/where any publications concerning this method have been published. Please contact me off-line if you are more comfortable with that. Thanks a million.

From: "Allan Tetzlaff" <atetzlaff at rogers.com> on 2007.01.25 at 02:36:03(15138) I have grown one for a couple years now that I got from Arno Clement. He sells on ebay and I've found him very reliable. I grow mine in a normal soilless potting mix when it is in growth and leave it out of the soil when resting (which has not been long - a couple of months perhaps). It has flowered for me, and this prior to sending up leaves. When it flowered, I had thought that it was sending up a leaf at first, but it turned out to be a flower. I was afraid of rot, but it had grown a pot full of roots while in flower. I've had no problem with rot at all. It stands about 3 feet tall (the leaf and stock). It takes bright light. If you have other questions, just ask. I grow quite a few different amorphophallus species and I find this other aroid quite easy - as easy as konjac.

The two bestknownexamples are the notoriously weedy and invasive Gonotopus boivinii ( Iwonder if this is the only species in this five-s pecies genus that doesthis?), and to a lesser extent its relative, Zamioculcas zamifolia.I am looking for any and all information on how sucessful reproductionormultiplication has been achieved in OTHER genera of aroids by usingsmallcuttings or portions of leaf (like it has been done in Amorphophallustitanum).Information which I need should include the aproximate age/condition oftheleaf cutting used, the names of rooting hormones/powder that may havebeenused to coat the cut ends of the leaflets, and importantly what generaandspecies of aroid has this method been attempted with, and which weresucessful at acheiving rooting and new tuber/corm formation. etc.I THINK that there has been information published on this, perhaps in aback-issue of our Aroideana, so if possible I also like information onwhen/where any publications concerning this method have been published.Please contact me off-line if you are more comfortable with that.Thanks a million.Good Growing,Juliusju-bo@msn.com------------------------------Mes sage: 4Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 13:36:37 +0100From: Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Rafflesia flower sizeTo: "Discussion of aroids" Message-ID: <001e01c73fb4$4bbc4000$0a01a8c0@vaasgard>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Maybe Selenicereus grandiflorus?----- Original Message ----- From: bonaventure@optonline.netTo: aroid-l@gizmoworks.comSent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 3:52 AMSubject: [Aroid-l] Rafflesia flower sizeRegarding the size of the flower of Rafflesia - is that a single bloomor an inflorescence, such as an Amorphophallus or other aroid, or morerelevent, a Pointsettia?
