Re: [Aroid-l] Lasia spinosa seed germination

From: "Mike Bordelon" <Bordelon.Mike at NMNH.SI.EDU> on 2004.08.31 at 12:02:07(12135) It's for that reason that I grow mine in a cement mixing pan, app. 2'X3', with drainage holes about 2 inches from the top. It's doesn't get full sun and stands straight up with stems to 4 feet tall. For the seeds, I would keep them moist just slightly covered with soil.

Also, my Lasia's growth habit is unlike those I have seen at botanical gardens. All of the others I have seen grow in a very erect upright manner, while mine sends out reclining stem out of the pot that then travel along ground level, rooting as it grows away from the pot, yet still making nice big leaves. It is not in full sun, which is what I assume is the difference between mine and the ones I have seen in full to nearly full sun at botanical gardens. Any comments? Thanks!
