Re: [Aroid-l] Dracontium amazonense

From: "plantguy at zoominternet.net" <plantguy at zoominternet.net> on 2009.10.01 at 16:12:56(20122) Hi Vincent, None of my various Dracontium ever go dormant for very long and certainly not on any schedule that I can figure out. Think of them like a nearly evergreen Amorph and you've got the idea. Keep them growing nearly year 'round and when they feel like taking a break they will. At that point keep them barely damp until a new growth emerges and then go back to your typical watering schedule. They often grow multiple petioles without any rest period and often have many petioles at the same time so this is normal. There are some wonderful pics on the IAS site showing various species with huge numbers of petioles all at the same time. Sounds like yours is happy :o) Dan +More Gibsonia, PA Original Message: ----------------- From: E.Vincent Morano ironious2@yahoo.com Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:03:30 -0700 (PDT) To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Subject: [Aroid-l] Dracontium amazonense I have a Dracontium amazonense that I wrote about before. Now it has grown a new leaf alongside the one it had all season. I thought these grew durring the year and then went dormant for the winter months. So first should it be growing a new leaf (a bigger one at that) and second when should/how should I let /make it go dormant?
