[Aroid-l] dracunulus vulgaris

From: Karin Hoppe Holloway <karin.h.h at btinternet.com> on 2009.07.20 at 09:35:46(19577) Since no expert has responded, I will to the person asking why his two bulbs aren't doing anything. I have a number of DVs, one mature bulb and a number of young, little ones. All of them are dormant right now. They're all in pots, outside, and I live in London. I cover the pots in the winter and the DVs begin to grow far sooner than I expect. The soil is just plain, ol' potting soil, from a bag. I do nothing special to my DVs. This year I had the problem, tho, that the one that flowered quickly rotted away as it never got pollinated, I suppose. Maybe because it was the only flower? When it grew in the parking lot of Morrison's it made berries, which is how I got all the little ones. But back then there was another mature plant, which was subsequently dug up and replaced by a recycling bin sign. That's why I rescued the remaining DV. Maybe just pot up your bulbs and wait.
