Re: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros potting

From: Baumfarn Webmaster <webmaster at baumfarn.at> on 2007.02.05 at 23:45:15(15229) Hi Bernhard, even at aroid.org the minimum temperature mentiones is 0 F (Helicodiceros muscivorus (Zone 7b Raleigh, NC) 0F) Probably a typo??! ;-) and you meant +20 F which comes quite closed to -7 C +More For a potted plant not bad. greetings Peter StroWi@t-online.de wrote: Dear Jim W., the observations you describe are very intersting. I should look up what are the minimun temperatures in Sardinia nad Korsika. I was already estonished when Peter from Austria wrote in his forum (http://www.baumfarn.at/treefern/) that his H.m. was doing well on his balcony in the mild winter we have this year; however they tolerated a few minus °C (approx. -20 °F). The paeasized tubers I got from you in 2002 grew to about 1/2 inch length and then "grew" smaller each year. Your obsevations about planting them horizontally might add to my failure since I potted them always vertiacally. Good growing and all the best, Bernhard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
