[Aroid-l] Arisaema sp. seedling help

From: LLmen at wi.rr.com (Don Martinson) on 2008.03.21 at 05:31:24(17197) Where did you obtain your seeds? Did you harvest them yourself? Many seeds need to undergo a period of chilling called vernalization. I always obtained my best germination of A. triphyllum by cleaning the seed in fall, then placing them in the refrigerator in damp sphagnum moss in a zip lock type plastic bag. As I recall, some had already germinated when I removed the bag in April to plant out the seed.
