Growing amorphs from seed

From: ken at spatulacity.com on 2004.04.06 at 01:10:42(11365) I just received my Amorph brachyphyllus seeds from Malesiana on Friday. I planted them immediately - in the absence of other instructions I planted them in a peat/coir mix (Scotts Metro 360 w/ coir), watered, covered with a plastic bag, and put in the sunniest window. I have two questions: did I do OK? and approximately when can I expect sproutage? +More -Ken Mosher

From: "Peter Boyce" <peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2004.04.06 at 09:08:03(11366) Dear Ken That is fine but I'd take them off of the sunny window sill; a pot in such a place could easily reach 40C (104F) which would be fatal to newly emerged shoots. We sow all our terrestrial aroid seeds in a 1:1 ground sphagnum:Perlite or in coir:washed river sand (1:1). Germination takes 2 - 3 weeks at a minimum of 21C (70F) and a max. of 29C (84C). If it's useful for folks, I could post some more detailed sowing and transplantation tips for aroids.

From: "Bryant, Susan L." <SLBryant at scj.com> on 2004.04.06 at 14:57:10(11368) I would like to see that. If it's useful for folks, I could post some more detailed sowing and transplantation tips for aroids. Pete

From: "Tropicals" <tropicals at solutionsanalysis.net> on 2004.04.06 at 15:20:29(11369) Yes, Pete that would be appreciated. There are so many aroid species, all growing / cultivation advise is useful to us.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid (prive)" <hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2004.04.06 at 17:03:07(11371) I would be careful not to raise the temperature too high under that bag. Seeds of eburneus are BIG and have a lot of contents that can easily rot. Careful with this one!

From: "Harold Beck" <drewbeck at swbell.net> on 2004.04.06 at 18:08:29(11372) Peter - An entry describing detailed sowing and transplantation tips would be most useful-- especially for a novice in Aroids, such as myself. I would especially appreciate your input on growing media for Anthuriums such as warocqueanum and veitchii. I'm not sure that I am exactly "on track".

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2004.04.06 at 18:38:08(11373) I have two questions: did I do OK? and approximately when can I expect sproutage? -Ken Mosher While I cannot comment upon this particular species, I would add that sometimes patience is necessary. Certain species may take in excess of 6 months to germinate. -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com

From: "Tropical Plant Resource" <Tropicals at SolutionsAnalysis.net> on 2004.04.28 at 14:27:35(11444) Peter, et al: Need your assistance, once again. Attached are pictures of 1) what was sold as A. titanium #'s 698 and 700 (5" wide, several new bulbs attached which are coming out of dormancy) and 2) a smaller (just over 1") bulb #/s 704 and 706, which I believe is A. bulbifer. My questions are: have these been identified correctly; and, can the additional bulbs be removed for additional plants and how, are they cut off, dried out and then planted? Can you please confirm the id's; and, or correct me.
