[Aroid-l] Anchomanes difformis var.welwitschii

From: ironious2 at yahoo.com (E.Vincent Morano) on 2008.07.29 at 01:07:09(18277) Fascinating Wilbert, thank you! It has come to my attention that there are two different kinds. One with a long rhizome and one with a short and squat rhizome. Mine has the short and squat rhizome. Does this sound like hte correct name for the one I have? Here is the picture provided on the sellers website. http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/naturalselectionsexotics/the-61/aroids%2C-amorphophallus%2C-tuber/Detail Thank you, Erin +More --- On Mon, 7/28/08, Wilbert Hetterscheid wrote: From: Wilbert Hetterscheid Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anchomanes difformis var.welwitschii To: "Discussion of aroids" Date: Monday, July 28, 2008, 12:36 AM Provided the identification is correct (!!??), it is a species (A. difformis in all its forms and varieties) from the wet forests. So you can put the rhizome in soil, keep it modertately moist and wait untill root growth starts (if there are no roots on your specimen). Then intensify watering a little untill the leaf emerges, then water freely. Cheerio, Wilbert > Does anyone know how to grow this?
