Arum hygrophilum
|
From: Krzysztof Kozminski <kk at netgate.net> on 1997.12.07 at 17:08:02(1719)
I've just became a happy owner of Arum hygrophilum and am wondering about
its requirements. Should it be treated as other arums, with moist
winter/spring and dry summer/fall? Any advice will be appreciated...

Hey what do you guys know about Arum hygrophilum? Is it fairly common, not common at all, prolific, or not at all. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks people!-Danny Wilson Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee when you click here.

Hi Danny and Everyone!
I grow a lot of Arum hygrophilum here in the Central Valley of
California. It is not a very common plant, and can be quite difficult to get
hold of initially, but once you have it, it's vigorous and easy to grow. It
also grows quite large (for an Arum) and makes many offset babies. The
leaves emerge in the late fall (around October here) and the first blooms
appear in January. A healthy plant will have leaf tips reaching nearly 3
feet high, which is rather high for this genus, and will make several
blooms. Of all the Arums I grow, this one makes the most blooms, and for the
longest period of time. A plant that starts blooming in January will still
be making blooms months later, and each bloom lasts a long time.
Unfortunately, Arum hygrophilum does have a few drawbacks. One, it is
particularly frost-sensitive. Unlike Arum italicum or A. dioscoridis, which
can both take a heavy frost and shrug it off, hygrophilum tends to lose
leaves and blooms in frosts. Second, it likes a lot of water (hence the
name) and is not as drought-hardy as other Arums. Lastly (and this may be
heresy to true Arum-ophiles) the bloom is just not that interesting. Unlike
other species with showy spathes and rich odors, the bloom of hygrophilum is
a simple green tube with the lightest purple tracing on the margin of the
spathe. There is no odor at all, and overall the effect is of many, small,
colorless, tubular blooms lurking hidden under all the foliage. Rather dull
in the grand scheme of things.
I would suggest growing A. dioscoridis, A. palaestinum, A, pictum, A.
creticum or any number of other species before hygrophilum. They are much
more intriguing to look at. But if anyone wants some hygrophilum, I will
have many spare offsets this summer when they go dormant. E-mail me in June
and I can send you some.
Cheers!
CJ

Dear CJ, Danny et al;
Been meaning to reply and here's my 2 cents.
Contrary to my expectations a couple tubers from CJ (thanks
again) last year have come though winter. They came up early, got
beat up by freezes and now are resprouting new foliage. Too early to
give precise details, but I look forward to their success. Made it
through lows around -2 F.
We had some record drought last summer and they surely did
not get nearly the water they would have preferred. I doubt it will
reach the dimensions cj mentions in his much milder climate, too. I
don't expect to see bloom , if any this year, for another month or
two.

Ask again in mid-summer when they go dormant.
Best Jim W.

Hi Danny,
The ecology and pollination of Arum hygrophilum has been studied by Jacob
Koach in Israel. Apparently it's not a strongly smelling species and not
thermogenic. It has a long flowering cyle (9-10 days) and it's pollinated
by midges (Psychodidae) but interestingly only by males and not females as
for lords-and-ladies!!!!

All the best,
Marc

Dear David and all,
I have grown Arum hygrophilum (note spelling?) in the Kansas City metro area for upwards of 10 years. This is a Zone 5/6 location with extended droughts and low rainfall. Although we have already had a couple nights of 15 F the foliage remains undamaged. Colder nights are expected and some more foliage damages, too. It recovers in spring and blooms regularly. In short reliable and hardy here.
This spring I planted some tubers of Arum creticum after years of thinking they were too tender. I saw a single plant in bloom in a garden just north of Wichta, KS and was inspired. So far the foliage is just emerging and remains undamaged. Fingers firmly crossed.
I have a plant labelled rupicola which survives here, but I have doubts to ID and must compare to Peter Boyce’s book one of these bloom seasons.
Hope this helps. Jim W.

James,
Thanks for your email. Attached was sent out to a very few people in the Fort Worth area. I am in my missionary mode and trying to get converts to Arum and aroids in general.
Speaking of James Waddick and I must speak of our other mutual love, Lycoris. This was not a good year for Lycoris radiata in that there were only 20 or so blooms in my front yard, last year there were over 500. My biggest disappointment, however, is Lycoris albiflora and Lycoris aurea, neither of which bloomed this year, their second year in my Lycoris garden. Now the foliage is all up like nothing happened and that is true, nothing did. I didn't expect flowers from the Spring foliage
Lycoris or from new acquisitions, but those two better get with it or they are going to get thrown out in a couple of years. :)

Interesting that you should comment on the Lycoris. Mine barely bloomed this year as well. Do you think it is because of the drought?

Hello,
The document is very good. The only things to change
are
| HTML +More |
- the picture in the first page is Typhonium sp., here are 3 drawings of Arum, or find some free pictures in Wikimedia
- why a map of the whole States without marking where Fort Worth is. Many people in the other parts of the world dont even know where Texas is.
Best Regards,
Marek Argent

Thank you Marek,
As I mentioned earlier, the original was not intended for wide distribution, but has accomplished its purpose. I have now been invited to make a presentation on Aroids to a fairly large and esteemed group here in Fort Worth. So the original is now being converted to a Powerpoint presentation with an extensive prologue describing Aroids.
Having my missionary cape on, I am now seeking other groups to which I can make this presentation. Hopefully, before I am through, I will have made a convert or two to our denomination (e.g.
Aroids).

David Leedy

Dear David and all,
I have grown Arum hygrophilum (note spelling?) in the Kansas City metro area for upwards of 10 years. This is a Zone 5/6 location with extended droughts and low rainfall. Although we have already had a couple nights of 15 F the foliage remains undamaged. Colder nights are expected and some more foliage damages, too. It recovers in spring and blooms regularly. In short reliable and hardy here.
This spring I planted some tubers of Arum creticum after years of thinking they were too tender. I saw a single plant in bloom in a garden just north of Wichta, KS and was inspired. So far the foliage is just emerging and remains undamaged. Fingers firmly crossed.
I have a plant labelled rupicola which survives here, but I have doubts to ID and must compare to Peter Boyce’s book one of these bloom seasons.
Hope this helps. Jim W.
