[Aroid-l] bulbifer bulb

From: crogers at ecoanalysts.com (D. Christopher Rogers) on 2007.10.05 at 16:09:30(16399) Hiyer, Susan! I let mine air dry for a day, then I dust them with cinnamon, place them in egg cartons, and store them in a plastic box. If I put them on the shelf they do shrivel. If you want to leave them in the soil, they should be either in a greenhouse, or set the pot on a tray full of damp sand. At the University greenhouse, A. bulbifer is a weed, dropping bulbils all over, which come up in pots that they are not supposed to be in. Good luck, Christopher +More D.

I do have to chime in and say I've never been able to grow one from a bulbil, although I try every year- if I store dry they shrivel up and disappear before spring. If I put them in dirt, the same thing... Susan _____ Luggage? GPS? Comic books? Check out fitting gifts for grads mail&p=graduation+gifts&cs=bz> at Yahoo!
