RE: [Spam] RE: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus and Anthurium

From: "Tom Croat" Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2006.11.13 at 19:11:32(14807) Dear Christopher: It is probably not the extent of darkness that is important but the temperature and the degree of humidity. If you bring it up too high in the greenhouse the light would be better but it could be too hot. Obviously plants respond favorbly to light, not darkness but the temperature control must be monitored because if you have nice humidity with too much light you will develop too much heat. Alternatively conditions too dark might not work either. Clearly regrowing sick or weak plants is a slow process some times. Tom +More [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of D.

It will need a lot of humidity but no water except for occasionally moistening the sphagnum. A see through plastic lid allows you to inspect it without disturbing it. Tom On Behalf Of D. Christopher Rogers Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 4:55 PM To: Aroid-L Subject: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus and Anthurium Hiya, Two separate questions: 1) Can Amorphophallus taurostigma be stored dry during dormancy? 2) I was given a very small offshoot of Anthurium warocqueanum, with two leaves less than an inch in length, and a small root bud. It was removed from the parent main stem. I have planted it in epiphyte mix (because I do not know what else to do with it) and put it in the darkest corner of my greenhouse, in conditions that are similar to where the parent was growing. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to keep it alive and growing? Thank you all in advance! Christopher D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.
