Amorphophallus in full sun ?

From: Ken Mosher ken at spatulacity.com> on 2006.09.13 at 16:21:06(14601) Michael, It will depend on where you are. Up here in the north I can get away with most species in full sun. If you're in the south that probably isn't true. +More Michael Pascall wrote: I want to plant out as many spp. as I can in a new bed prepared recently .

I live in Southwestern Ontario. I don't put them in beds but in pots. They pretty much all handle full sun but I water them a lot. There doesn't seem to be a problem. Mites are more of an issue when it gets hot and dry than sunlight is. My experience is with quite a few species.... konjac, muelleri, paeoniifolius, titanum, symonianus, atroviridus, palawanensis,... on and on....

From: "Bryant, Susan L." SLBryant at scj.com> on 2006.09.14 at 13:01:24(14606) I think it depends on temperature, light levels (frequent clouds or weeks without them) and humidity. My Wisconsin isn't very much like your area, my albus, symonianus, and lewallei do pretty well in (almost) full sun. Towards the end of summer bulbifer, konjac, and others get a little sunburnt, but by then they are almost done. For some reason the larger plants get burnt more than the smaller ones.

I was surprised the first time I traveled through, although it was a higher latitude than where I lived, there were many crops like fruit that can't be grown in my area.

From: "Allan Tetzlaff" atetzlaff at rogers.com> on 2006.09.15 at 09:47:25(14608) Susan.... yes, mites overwinter here. A lot of ornamental trees - Golden Chain Trees, Pussy Willow - are notorius for being overrun by mites in August when it normally gets hot and dry. I'm not sure in other countries about products, but here in Canada, I use AVID which it great. It also requires a licence though. I've grown orchids for years and mite control is essential. The Amorphophallus don't seem to mind chemical sprays. I always spray in the evening so the sunlight is weaker. Here, I always grow my Amorphs in pots as opposed to the ground. And I use fresh commercial potting mixes, so I don't have the nematode problems that other's mention (at least not so far). Allan +More ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryant, Susan L.
