Re: [Aroid-l] Dracontium amazonense going dormant?

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2010.04.18 at 00:18:30(20849) I grow several Dracontium spp. here in the wet tropics and they all have a dormant period . Come on the poor plants need a little rest ! +More I have removed several tubercles from my D amazonense and none sprouted the first year but one did this year . I leave all my Drac's potted and they get watered with all my other plants .. My hybrid prancei x polyphyllum is doing very well .

To: "Discussion of aroids" Date: Sunday April 11 2010 7:30 PM I ahve a Dracontium amazonense going dormant now. Ive kept is wet and warme r then outside. It started by slowly loosing leaves. finally only one was l eft and the last one stayed there for about another month. now it is starti ng to turn yellow and the stem is softening like the others did before fall ing off. I also have several offsets in the pot. Non of the offsets ever sprouted bu t the did grow roots and get larger in size. After checking the offsets I see that they are dormant also because their roots are gone. I have fertilized them the whole time theyve been growing almost 2 years now. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? are they going to sleep or someth ing else? If they are resting how long will they rest?how should I store them? -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _________________________________________________________________ View photos of singles in your area!
