[Aroid-l] Alocasia micro trunk propagation

From: Brian Williams <pugturd at windstream.net> on 2010.01.23 at 19:47:47(20510) I have a large Alocasia odora that I am planning on cutting down and propagating. This plant has 5 foot of trunk. I am looking to produce small sucker plants off of it rather than start each eye. I had in the past had partial luck with dicing the trunk in to small 1inch X 1 inch squares but rot is a major factor when cutting them so small as well as the pieces not having any main growth point. I would like to know if their is any technique into using a trunk to produce multiple small plants with out much loss. What conditions and chemicals could be used to make each small cutting produce small plants? Thanks. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
