Re: [Aroid-l] other bulbils/bulblets

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2011.04.08 at 14:45:45 Dear Sherry,   It depends on a species. For example Alocasia wentii produces bulblets about 1.5 cm in diameter and very few of them put leaves. The don't die in pots, they may start to grow even after 2-3 years. Bulblets of A. infernalis put leaves very quickly, after a few weeks, but later they grow slowly. While A. wentii from a bulblet produces 3-5 leaves a year, A. infernalis (from bulblets too), 1-2 leaves. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Gates To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 8:24 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] other bulbils/bulblets I read "I think that bulbils smaller than 1cm rarely generate a new plant." posted by Marco about Amorphophallus.   What about the bulblets that form on the stalks/stems of Alocasia?  Is there a certain size that's more likely to succeed?  If so, when they fall off the parent plant, will they continue to "mature" and eventually sprout?                                           Thanks, Sherry _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l No virus found in the message.
