Re: A. griffithii help?!

From: Judy Bauer <jbauer at concordnc.com> on 1998.04.26 at 15:40:41(2039) Hi Tim McNinch, I used this search engine, http://www.metacrawler.com/ and typed in 'Arisaema Griffithii' and arrived here: http://www.mdc.net/~rrh/arsinohim.html I clicked on the picture of Arisaema Griffithii, http://www.mdc.net/~rrh/argrif.html Wow, this is a great looking plant! BTW, who is updating the hardy aroid list: http://www.premier.net/~chapman/hardy.html This web site is interesting to see how much our Arisaema treasures are worth: http://www.heronswood.com/pren1c.html from this site: http://www.heronswood.com/pren1c.html 'nearly all Arisaema are happiest with a modicum of shade and adequate moisture in humus-rich soil'. Also: http://www.suite101.com/articles/article.cfm/2488 which states that Arisaema Griffithii is not hardy. If I were you I would mail your Arisaema Griffithii seeds to one of our Florida aroiders. I have had very good results with Arisaema seeds or any other seeds by planting them directly into the ground from which they will grow. But first I have to dig into the soil with a shovel, then I till with my little 22 pound tiller, then I add compost, compost cow manure or both. Then I till again with my little 22 pound tiller until the soil is very fine and mixed very well. Most seeds germinate in soil that is prepared like this.
