Re: [Aroid-l] Arum soil?

From: "?goston J?nos" agoston.janos at citromail.hu> on 2005.12.25 at 09:34:21(13652) Dear Danny, I'm growing my Arums in a sandy mix. I grow A. italicum, maculatum, dioscorides, nigrum, orientale, Dracunculus vulgaris in it. The Dutch grown Dracunculus doesn't like it at all, but the wildly collected one does. +More Formula as folows: 1600 dm3 coarse sand 1000 dm3 black turf 500 dm3 perlite, ? 0-1 mm. For base ferilization 0,5 kg KCl in autumn, and about 12 dm3 old manure for 10 m2. Than harmonic fertilizer is added in the same dosage in summer (16:16:16). Peter Boyce told me A. dioscorides and Dracunculus vulgaris grows together in SW-Turkey, so this mix must be good for both of them, if they were collected in the wild.
