Re: [aroid-l] Amorph Blues Part 2

From: "Marge Talt" <mtalt at hort.net> on 2004.08.02 at 16:50:42(11910) I think this must depend a lot on just where you are....sun being hotter the farther south you go (in the northern hemisphere) After I read one post about them needing shade, I got a bit nervous as mine are in what passes for sun here - nothing overhead and direct sun for about 2 or 3 hours a day and seem quite happy. The ones that I had at the edge of the covered walk, only getting some morning rays, were leaning toward the light, so I moved them to the "sun" position and they are doing fine - no scorch. I do think making sure they have plenty of water is important if they are getting sun - I am speaking of plants in pots - drying out will also scorch leaf edges.

It seems like I am hearing anywhere from deep shade to an entire day of direct sun.. I do understand that it will depend on the variety. I know that bulbifer is more sensative to sun than konjac is. > > What I would like to know is what is the optimal.. Mine are currently getting 2.5 to 3 hours of full direct sun now with no signs at all of scorching... is this enough for good tuber growth ?
