  Re: [Aroid-l] Temperature requierements for Helicodiceros
From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2010.01.30 at 20:07:21
Hi,

I live in Canby, OR, USA (zone 7 something).  Our normal winter temperatures go below freezing and sometimes into the teens and somewhat rarely down into the single digits, all with a great deal of rain.  I have grown D. vulgaris for over 20 years outside with no protection at a depth of about 4"-6".  I was surprised at how well it grew.  One winter the temperature fell to just above zero F. for about a week.  I don't know if this is unusual or not because it's the only one I've ever grown.  It emerges in March-April, flowers in June-July and goes dormant in October-November.

Hello,
=0A
 
=0A
I live in zone 7a, so I don't risk leaving =0ADracunculus vulgaris (which has similar requirements as Helicodiceros =0Amuscivorus),
=0A
so I cultivate it at home. It is dormant through =0Aall the summer and autumn, it wakes up in December, blooms in February and soon =0Aafter it goes dormant again. Here's my page:

Bernhard,
I am certainly no expert when it comes to =0A this plant, but I do have a few in pots, so I will share what I =0A know!  Here in Tennessee, USA, they start growing in December and =0A die back in hot weather, but I think they last until June or July.
My =0A pots were under a potting bench, getting almost no light and only a =0A little water dripping from the pots above.  I pull them out when I =0A notice them starting to grow.
Mine have never bloomed, =0A however.
They are in a greenhouse that gets down to about 50F (10C) =0A at night an from 50-100F during the day (depending on outside =0A temperature and sun).

Aroiders,


=0A

from the temperatures and seasonal rainfall on =0A Sardinia I guess that Helocodiceros grows from late Sebtember to April =0A or May with the maximum of rainfall in November and December and =0A temperatures down to 8 =B0C (46 =B0F) in December to February.


=0A

I would like to know, wether the low =0A temperatures in the growing season are neccessary or if Helicodiceros =0A could be grown (and flower) at higher temperatures as well.


=0A

Looking forward to any comment,

=0A

Bernhard.
