Can anyone tell me if it would be successful to bury it deeper to get rid of the length, or perhaps better to air layer the extended stem? I have tried air layering before, but have had trouble when transfering that layering to soil. Don is ready to send a photo of the plant so you can see what it might need. Please look and tell me what can be done? Thank you very much for your help, Susan Cox -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

It should root itself in rather quickly now the summer is near. Add some Osmocote and water well. All should be fine. Layering and everything else seems over zealous.

From: "Susan Cox" snalice at dslextreme.com> on 2005.05.08 at 22:10:56(12924) Hello John! It's too late. In order to bury the length enough for the stem to hold the very heavy leaves in an upright position I actually had to cut a bit more than 1/3 of the roots off from the bottom (it was ALL roots!) and plant it in an even deeper pot! There was no rhizome cut. So far (day after) there is no sign of negative affect. The leaves were so heavy that it required planting it up to the uppermost level possible. So, there are bottom roots and roots that will begin shooting roots into the soil at the top. If the trunk that I buried that is in between the bottom roots and the just forming upper roots (about 8" worth) doesn't rot, I'm in like Flynn. Thank you for your input!
