Re: [aroid-l] Amorph Blues Part 2

From: Al Wootten <awootten at nrao.edu> on 2004.08.02 at 13:42:01(11908) Neil As usual I was late getting my plants out from winter storage; A. bulbifer already had 4" growth on it. Although I put it in a shady spot, someone tidying up the garden moved it into direct sun about early June. The growth shriveled and fell off. Now there is a strong growth again, which elongated from an adjacent spot on the corm. Clear skies, Al Quoting Neil Gordon : Sigh, ok last week i decided to put my A. Bulbifer outside, as we were +More having mice weather, and they produce nice pink edges to the leaf in strong(er) light, or so ive read, unfortunately i want out and didnt return for 2 days, when i came back, the leaf looked like it had been sun bleached, as its been very sunny here in the UK. Now, a few days later (as expected) the bleached bits are dying off and my plants looking a little worse for wear. I guess about 30 - 40% of the leaf is still green and unafected. Or perhaps it could be due to lower temperatures in the evening? Can anyone tell me how badly this will affect the plant? I guess it wont put up a new leaf if this one dies and wont increase the tuber size this year because of it. Hopefully i havnt done anything terminal to it. I had also put out the 2 A. Hildebrandtii I also have out next to it, and they are hardly affected at all, with only slight bleaching around the margins. I only realy discovered these plants about a year ago, so I guess im still a bit green in respect to growing them. Live and learn i suppose. Neil
