Re: [aroid-l] Growing amorphs from seed

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.

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.
