Callopsis die-back

From: Geoffrey Kibby <fieldmycol at yahoo.co.uk> on 2007.07.05 at 23:58:09(15947) Dear aroiders, I was wondering whether anyone else had had this same problem: a plant I had of Callopsis volkensii for some years (originally purchased from Dewey Fisk) grew wonderfully, putting out bigger and better leaves each year plus loads of flowers, but slowly over the last year or so has steadily declined with more and more leaves dying back. Nothing I did seemed to help, even my 'cure-all' solution of potting up in pure Sphagnum moss has not helped and It is now essentially dead...... It was one of my favourite miniature plants and was very beautiful in flower. I suspect some fungus disease (the leaves turned very thin and soft and collapsed back from the tips) but am not sure. I tried a fungicide but I suspect I was too late. It was grown in a warm indoor mini greenhouse along with lots of other smaller aroids which are all very healthy. If anyone has any thoughts or solutions I would be grateful and if anyone has an offset or tuber to spare/sell of Callopsis I will be ecstatic! Many thanks, Geoffrey Kibby +More London _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
