Re: [aroid-l] Xanthos. saggitiflorum

From: "Cooper, Susan L." SLCooper at scj.com> on 2002.10.07 at 16:37:28(9500) This does pretty well for me as a houseplant in the winter. You do have to watch for spider mites though. My house is very low light, and I've had times when X. saggit dies back to 1-2 leaves but it always perks up again once it gets outside. Hope this helps a little, Susan Cooper +More zone 5 48?F at 11:30am- brr! A 4 ft Xanthosoma saggitiflorum won't be happy outside in my upcoming zone 4 winter. Will this plant die back to its tuber (or bulb)? I dup it up and have it in a pot indoors. Should I just treat it like a houseplant until spring arrives again? What temperature and conditions would it like indoors? Thanks, Jean Halverson Dodgeville WI USA min winter about -20F
