Phalloid Dormancy

From: Don Burns <donburns at macconnect.com> on 1999.03.10 at 05:32:39(3107) >Dear Aroiders, >Could someone advise me on the best way to store A. bulbifer and A. >paeoniifolus during dormancy? Should they be bare bulbed or in a dry >medium ? Sincerely, Susan Lovell Susan, They can be bare, or in medium. Either way they should do OK. I do both here in the subtropics. But, bear in mind that this does not apply to species that come from some of the south Asian islands, such as Sumatra. They should remain in medium during dormany and be kept slightly moist. See the Amorphophallus pages at the IAS website for discussions on cultural aspects of phalloids. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b (near Ft Lauderdale)
