Re: [Aroid-l] Arisaema Fimbriata dry tuber storage?

From: "Russell Coker" <cokerra at bellsouth.net> on 2008.10.11 at 19:27:36(18628) John, here's what I've done (on the Gulf Coast). I had terrible luck with fimbriatum, sukotaiense and barnesii in pots along with all of my other Arisaemas, so what didn't rot got planted in the ground. Although these are tropical, they are also deciduous and seemed to follow seasonal changes here. The summer of 2007 they looked awful in pots so last fall they went into the ground for the winter in a light, sandy, composty soil. At that point, barnesii was gone and I didn't have much to loose with the other two. This past spring they sprouted with renewed vigor and strength, and I'm hoping for flowers next spring. October turns cooler especially at night, and it also stops raining and becomes very dry (for us). If these tropical Arisaemas are still up, this finishes them off. So my vote would be winter storage in slightly moist soil. Since these plants don't come with many cultural instructions I'll be eager to hear how others are growing them.
