  RE: [Aroid-l] warm pots/water for aquatic aroids

Hi All.
It works great as Julius described. I actually found that the aquatics
(Cyrtospermas, Urospathas, Lasiamorpha) do better in this set up than they do
for me the whole rest of the year when it is warm enough and they are not in
heated, circulated water. Circulated water is VERY important otherwise they just
rot.
They are just under shadecloth, no heat or cover other than the water, and
they have gotten down to the high 30's in this set up before with no ill
effects.
We didn't set it up this year since it has been so warm, and the plants
really show the difference. The plants are all in great shape considering it is
early spring, but I certainly haven't gotten the 2 ft of growth I normally get
in the winter without the heated water.
