[Aroid-l] Advise in planting Arum seeds

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2009.08.15 at 03:25:45(19721) Dear Aroiders: Ijust returned from a trip to the Balkans and collected an Arum in fruit in Durres, Albania. Since these berries were mature in the midst of their dry Mediterraneanstyle summer and if shed directly in such dry conditions could surely notgerminate I am assuming that they must somehow survive without germinatinguntil the rains begin. Does anyone know what I should do to get theseseeds to germinate? Do they need to be stored? Planteddirectly? Treated in any particular way? I would appreciate youhelp. Emily is coming in tomorrow to deal with them so if you have someadvise I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Tom HTML +More Pete: I have copied both you and Marija Bedalov sinceI know that both of you have had direct experience with Arum.
