Re: [aroid-l] Anthurium regale and Zanthosoma roseum

From: Tom Croat Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2003.01.29 at 18:00:00(9898) Dear All: Anthrium regale grew well in Selby's Rare Plant House for years. Mardy Darian does very well with it. He says it needs lots of pot room, lots of humidy and fertilizer. These are, of course, important for most aroids.

That reminded me of this: http://www.malesiana.tropicals.com.my/alo-rob.html It is from the Web catalog of Malesiana Tropicals. http://www.malesiana.tropicals.com.my/ I don't think it would do well outside here in Phoenix, not even next to my pond.
