Re: [Aroid-l] voodoo lilly

From: "Noel Crisler" ncrisler at cox.net> on 2006.08.17 at 16:41:21(14526) Dracunculus vulgaris here in Norfolk, VA, stays in the ground year round. They are in shade among small transplanted dogwood trees. Blooms like a trooper. For better or worse, when the first one was planted right next to the fromt door- big mistake though the stench is fortunately short lived! Oldest one was almost 4' tall this year. A real show stopper though appeals to a limited audience!

Here in Canby, OR zone 7-8 I leave mine planted in the ground year-round. It has grown, bloomed successfully, multiplied, and smelled up the neighborhood (slightly) for more than 20 years. I never dig it up except to divide clumps and sell some of the tubers.

In cooler climes like Oregon, it and other Cormous/tuberous aroids seem to do well if left (mulched) in the ground year-round, but her in Florida the cormous/tuberous aroids such as Caladium, Amorphophallus, etc. sometimes will rot if, during dormancy, they are left in the ground. Our cool season/"winter", with its cold/cool then hot then cold again cycles confuse the plant into stopping, then starting, then stopping growth during these months, so I suggested removing the plant from the soil/pot, and storing it for the duration of 'winter' in a paper bag kept in a cool place!

I`m by no means an expert on the growing of the 'voodoo lily', but since it is an aroid that does go dormant, I can offer the following tips/suggestions. It will 'go down' into dormancy once it gets cold enough where you live, and once the leaves start to turn yellow, cut way back then stop on the watering, and once all the leaves are withered and brown, remove the corm from the soil and store in a paper bag in a cool place, say on a garage shelf. Next spring, once W. Cen. Florida begins to warm up, the tuber must be checked regularly for signs of new growth, it will begin to put out either a bloom or new plant growth, and should be potted out at this time, start watering slowly at first, once the new plant has rooted in, begin a system of regular light fertilization. Enjoy! Good luck, and GOOD GROWING!
