Re: [aroid-l] Growing amorphs from seed

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.

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.
