Re: [Aroid-l] aroid recommendations

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2009.01.12 at 21:27:23(18901) Hello, I think Pistia stratiotes is not representative as a typical blooming aroid, its lnflorescences are highly reduced. (see photos) - http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/pistia/pistia.htm Typhonium, Dracunculus and other "coloured" tuberous aroids are insufficient to grow indoors. They require a lot of light. I grew a few years ago an Arisaema amurense - http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/arisaema/arisaema1.htm at home without additional lighting, just on the window and it bloomed normally. The easiest Arisaema I think is A. flavum but it needs to spend a winter in a cold place. I don't recommend Spathiphyllum if you are a botanist. All plants sold in the shops are cultivars.

In this lab, I grow Anthurium gracile which is a constant bloomer with lots of red seed production. A nice show. I have also started getting some blooms of A. scandens.
