Typhonium diversifolium

From: Ellen Hornig hornig at Oswego.EDU> on 2001.12.21 at 17:04:06(7973) Hi - I recently received some seeds of this species, wild-collected in the Himalayas. Can anyone on the list share their experiences with growing it (conditions, hardiness, etc)? It looks very attractive in Polunin's _Flowers of the Himalaya_, but that's all I know about it. Thanks!

I`d try to locate the coll. location and thus the altitude in India where they came from, this will tell you a lot about how hardy they may be, if there is a protracted dry season where they come from, etc.! Lots of Typhonium sps. are very hardy! Good luck, Julius +More >>Hi:Any information as to the "hardiness" of this edible? plant would be welcome.

From: "Kathy Kempf" wont_read101 at hotmail.com> on 2002.04.22 at 20:27:02(8603) The first year I planted my typhonium (Zone 6) I was given no cultural information. I plunked it in the ground covered about 2" with soil, and a week later the thing was 4' (1.5 m) tall! Having had no cultrual information (I even lost the name) I left it in the ground all winter. Returning to the nursery where purchased next spring, I found out what it was (everyone who saw it immediately wanted one) and bought 2 more bulbs. That was all they had in stock. I planted the new ones in April in the same general area as previously. They both came up (no "flowers") within a week. Much to my astonishment, June 20, the original one put up a leaf stalk (no spathe). It stayed with me until August. The replacements stayed until July. Playing it safe, I dug up 2 bulbs (all I could find) and stored them over the winter. I replanted them outside (new areas) in early April. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will prove hardy and multiply... >From: "Julius Boos" +More >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Re: Typhonium diversifolium >Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 11:36:22 -0500 (CDT) > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Wilbert Hetterscheid > To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L > Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 10:15 PM > Subject: RE: Typhonium diversifolium > > > You were thinking COLD, I was thinking HOT!
