From: "Peter Boyce" <P.Boyce at lion.rbgkew.org.uk> on 1997.05.30 at 18:13:31(779) Dear M.J. Hatfield Do nothing! Keep the pot dry but cool (don't allow it to bake). In mid-July empty the pot and carefully remove the tubers. Replant them in your standard arum-growing mix at about 2.5 cm depth c. 5 tubers to a 10 cm pot and give the pot a good water. The new growth will soon appear and one it does grow them vigorously in good light with feed every other watering. It may even pay you to pot them on (without disturbing the tubers) into a 15 cm pot about half-way through the growing season and continue to keep them growing. next year do exactly the same but when you come to re-pot in mid-july you'll probably need to do one tuber to a 8 cm pot and to pot that on (again without disturbing) into a 15. By the third year some of the more vigorous tubers will probably flower. Pete +More Peter Boyce Herbarium Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Richmond Surrey TW9 3AE U.K. p.boyce@lion.rbgkew.org.uk
