Re: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros potting

From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2007.02.01 at 22:53:51(15197) My dear Julius, that you point at the growing point is (of course) one of the best points you could ever make!!! Actually, I wondered, too, why this was recommended. The only benefit I could see is that the offsets or dormant "eyes" might grow more happily being released from the apical dominance of the main growing point. +More But maybe that's no point at all.... Thanks for your inpoint, ehh... I mean "input" ... ;-) Bernhard. -----Original Message----- > Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 00:40:27 +0100 > Subject: RE: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros potting > From: "Julius Boos" > To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > > > > From : StroWi@t-online.de > Reply-To : Discussion of aroids > Sent : Monday, January 29, 2007 8:06 AM > To : "aroid-L" > Subject : [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros potting > > > > My Dear Friend Bernhard, > > All aroid tubers should be planted, depending on their shape and form, > basically so that the growing point/terminal bud is pointing > vertically UPWARDS.
