  Re: [Aroid-l] philodendron verrucosum

The Xanthosoma atrovirens albomarginata is
one of my favorites. Mainly they seem to like a sandy soil without a lot
of organic content that can get soggy and they like to dry out quite a bit
between watering. They are most reliable in raised beds here. During
spring flooding or summer hurricanes they can stay too wet,causing the roots to
die back to the tuber and the tops to die back, but then they recover, reroot,
and start growing again as it dries up.

I grew up on the peninsula and the p. verrucosum is
definitely much easier there than in Texas.
