Re: dracunculus vulgaris

From: mburack at mindspring.com on 2001.02.28 at 17:23:24(6003) Real easy way to solve this problem.....when the plant goes dormant.......put it in your refrigerator for about 3-4 months.... Under those circumstances it will be fine..... the reason for the person in florida who responded and said that they usually perish after about 2 years is because of the cold dormancy not being respected. Many plants (aroids and others) that are temperate and require a cold dormant period, are easily tricked by the winter refrigeration.. It really does work. +More aroid-l@mobot.org wrote: > Can dracunculus be grown in the heat and humidity of south Fla. zone 10 . If > anyone down here has one what conditions are you growing it in.
