Re: [Aroid-l] What's wrong with my X. violaceum?

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.03.10 at 00:05:40 Dear Marek=2C Try a little fungicide on the corm=2C and give the plant more light and more warmth=2C less moisture/water to the soil. That`s all I can suggest! Julius From: abri1973@wp.pl To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Date: Sun=2C 8 Mar 2009 11:42:44 +0100 Subject: [Aroid-l] What's wrong with my X. violaceum? Hello Aroiders=2C  =3B A few years ago I got a plant of Xanthosoma violaceum. Its leaf blades were about 15 cm (6") long. I cultivated this at home in normal conditions and I was repotting it every spring. This winter it began to produce more and more small leaves. One of the tubers lost all of them. I append a photo. Each leaf is smaller than the previous one - the newest is 2.5 cm (1") long. Did it fell into dormancy or is it dying? The corms and the roots are healthy=2C so what can be the reason?  =3B Here are some photos how it looked before: http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/xanthosoma/xviolaceum.htm  =3B I remember I had the same problem with Alocasia x amazonica and A. reginae=2C in winter =3Bit had small leaves=2C and =3Bit died. I think it may be caused by too low air humidity.  =3B Best=2C Marek Argent  =3B --_c980513d-424e-4837-b605-728b37baaa41_----===============7752801631769656567==
