From: Christopher Rogers <branchiopod at gmail.com> on 2011.11.15 at 14:44:21 Hiyer, Ken and Jude! =A0 I had one that grew nearly nonstop for several years. Then it went dormant for a year and a few months. I kept checking it for rot. Eventually it went back to growing like mad. Most of the plants I have grown have a definite dormant period of about three months. =A0 Happy days, Christopher On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Ken Mosher <ken@spatulacity.com> wrote: Jude, I'm surprised to hear that your Anchomanes has been dormant for a year.=A0 Have you checked on the tuber?=A0 Mine don't generally have a well defined dormancy and grow pretty much year-round if conditions are favorable. -Ken On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 7:49 AM, The Silent Seed <santoury@aol.com> wrote: I have one - I had a bunch, but they rotted from getting too cold and damp - but the one I have is about grapefruit sized (and the others were maybe twice that big) - Grows to about 10 feet tall. They definitely like it warmer - 70's and up. Mine has been dormant for at least one year now, and I am not sure why. I think if you google Anchomanes, you will find more info.=A0 Good luck!=A0 ______________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to receive my plant newsletters via email? santoury@aol.com The Silent Seed - Rare and Unusual Plants ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Zanezirklejr <Zanezirklejr@aol.com> To: aroid-l <aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com> Sent: Sat, Nov 12, 2011 6:54 pm Subject: [Aroid-l] Looking for info on achamones welwitschiI Can anyone offer info on achamones welwitschiI?
