  [Aroid-l] Amorph dormancy
From: James jamesms_55 at yahoo.com> on 2005.12.19 at 06:21:25(13625)
For those of you who have taken amorphs through a
winter, I have a situation that to me, seems like it
shouldn't be happening. I have several A.
paeonifolius, konjac and bulbifer outdoors, under
shade and after a number of nights down to the mid 20s
and many more down to 30s with frost on the ground
outside of the shade tunnel, they look like they're
doing fine. I expected them to go dormant by now but
apparently they have other ideas. Any thoughts as to
what I should do for them? I have cut back on
watereven though the growth has not yellowed yet.
They are growing under 50% shade, in a 20x50x12'high
hoop house with no ends and they are at the extreme
north end at the opening. I'd really hate to lose the
big 10+ lb konjac and 4-5lb paeonifolius to rot due to
cold. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
James
