RE: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros potting

From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2007.02.06 at 02:15:34(15230) Hiyer! Here in central California, we have had some unusually cold weather this year. We went for a whole week with lows between –5C (22F) and 1C (33F). We still are having some frost in any place shady most mornings, but my Helicodiceros (both new offsets and old plants) are coming up and looking great!

I should look up whatare the minimun temperatures in Sardinia nad Korsika. I was already estonished when Peter from Austria wrote in his forum(http://www.baumfarn.at/treefern/) that his H.m. was doing well on hisbalcony in the mild winter we have this year; however they tolerated afew minus �C (approx. -20 �F). The paeasized tubers I got from you in 2002 grew to about 1/2 inchlength and then "grew" smaller each year.Your obsevations about planting them horizontally might add to myfailure since I potted them always vertiacally. Good growing and all the best,Bernhard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------treeferns & aroids: http://www.baumfarn.at/treefern (http://www.baumfarn.at)---------------------------------------------------Amorphophallus network: http://www.amorphophallus.baumfarn.at/ _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
