Re: [Aroid-l] Leaf fertilization - A.titanum 'ghost'

From: Baumfarn Webmaster webmaster at baumfarn.at> on 2005.06.12 at 22:03:05(12998) Selflings?? Sorry; I'm just a native german speaker. And I know only halflings and seedlings, but selflings? Probably you mean self propagated plants? But as far as I know that is impossible for Amorphophallus, since the female flowers ripe before the stamens. +More As I noticed this plant was grown from seeds. If there isn't enough chlorophyl production to keep the plant alive, there wouldn't enough chlorophyl production to build a tuber neither. How can the plant even survive 2 seasons? Grafting the leaf? Don't sounds practicable to me. Did ever someone tried to graft tubers? eg: cutting two tubers in half, binding each half of the opposite together and hope for the best. I'm not into botanics, I don't know if his could even be marginally possible. greetings Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- treeferns & aroids: http://www.baumfarn.at/treefern (http://www.baumfarn.at) --------------------------------------------------- Amorphophallus network: http://www.amorphophallus.baumfarn.at/ _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
