Amorph. seedling question.
|
From: "Rob Zuiderwijk" mail_list at robzuiderwijk.nl> on 2003.09.05 at 20:14:56(10551)
Hello,
Through this years Amorphophallus distribution by Wilbert Hetterscheid I received some seeds of Am. koratensis. They are my firsts attempt at growing Amorpho's from seeds. I sowed them the 10th of May and at the moment I've 24 very good growing plantlets of which most have already produced a second leaf.
Now for my question. I was wondering when does one start to feed young Amorpho seedlings? I mean, I understand that they can continue to grow for quite some time before they go into their first dormancy. And I suppose they need some feeding at one time or the other.
Thanks in advance.

I would say that feeding them may start after the next leaf has developed
and only when they are in a pot for a rather long time (6 months or more).
Don't overdo it with such small plants. Koratensis is a very vigorous
species and it will use the soil very well and change it into biomass.
Cheerio,
Wilbert

Thanks (again) Wilbert.
I had sent this message about a week ago but it didn't show up in the list.
