Re: [aroid-l] Growing amorphs from seed

From: "Harold Beck" <drewbeck at swbell.net> on 2004.04.06 at 18:08:29(11372) Peter - An entry describing detailed sowing and transplantation tips would be most useful-- especially for a novice in Aroids, such as myself. I would especially appreciate your input on growing media for Anthuriums such as warocqueanum and veitchii. I'm not sure that I am exactly "on track".
