  Re: [Aroid-l] Help for A. harleyi

Hello Marcus,

Thank you again for responding Marcus.

I dunk them in water with some fish emulsion mixed in every once in awhile,
leaves and all, but not very often. They don't appear to need much
fertilizer. I need to say that my A. harleyi went through many months
without much water. It was neglected it for periods so long that the leaves
finally shriveled. It's no wonder that it is still alive, considering it's
native conditions. It loves it inside the house as long as it is dunked
once in awhile. I have wood heat so it gets some pretty high temperatures,
which it didn't seem to mind. It didn't even seem to mind being neglected
for long periods, but this was too long a period.

Marcus, in it's native habitat, even though there can be long periods of
drought, is there any humidity in the air at all?
I do wonder if A. harleyi will produce seed all by itself? Is it
apomictic/asexual?
