[Aroid-l] HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

From: sparky4114 at mac.com (Thom Powell) on 2008.04.09 at 13:32:29(17342) Sheldon, I just checked the corm this morning.... It was there, BUT the top layer of "skin" came right off and there were clear, white thrip-like critters all over under there .... It even had 2 little corm coming. I threw it away, I didn't want to infest any of my other plants. I would be very happy to take you up on your offer, and let me buy one from you. Since I now know that they are hardy to zone 5 (NY) I will plant it in my garden. Thanks, Thom +More Sent from my iPhone On Apr 8, 2008, at 3:02 AM, Sheldon Hatheway wrote: > A previous responder may be right. It might just be going into > dormancy.
