other bulbils/bulblets

What about the bulblets that form on the stalks/stems of Alocasia? Is there a certain size that's more likely to succeed? If so, when they fall off the parent plant, will they continue to "mature" and eventually sprout?

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2011.04.08 at 14:45:45(22009) Dear Sherry, It depends on a species. For example Alocasia wentii produces bulblets about 1.5 cm in diameter and very few of them put leaves. The don't die in pots, they may start to grow even after 2-3 years. Bulblets of A. infernalis put leaves very quickly, after a few weeks, but later they grow slowly. While A. wentii from a bulblet produces 3-5 leaves a year, A. infernalis (from bulblets too), 1-2 leaves.

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2011.04.08 at 15:01:30(22010) Dear Susan (again) Sorry, I haven't finished. Alocasia infernalis bulblets are about 5-10 mm and most of them wake up quickly when not dried, after detaching them from the mother plants they should be potted immediately and watered. The best place for such Alocasias in a glasshouse (it may be even a covered) aquarium without water. http://araceum.abrimaal.pro-e.pl/florarium/florarium.htm Marek HTML +More ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Gates To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 8:24 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] other bulbils/bulblets I read "I think that bulbils smaller than 1cm rarely generate a new plant." posted by Marco about Amorphophallus.

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2011.04.08 at 23:54:30(22012) Older offsets on many Alocasias can have a tough skin on them . To ensure sprouting this skin must be broken carefully , no need to remove . Fresh ones will sprout very fast . The stem offsets like on longiloba seem to sprout very easily .
