Re: [Aroid-l] Temperature requierements for Helicodiceros

From: Christopher Rogers <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2010.02.22 at 17:11:03(20639) Hello, Bernhard! My experience is that Helicodicerosgoes dormant in response to high temperatures and lack of rain, while dormancyis broken by the cold of winter, but occasionally from the onset of rain. Myplants will break dormancy and start to grow in the autumn if I water them,however, they stop growing just below the soil surface. Once the temperaturesdrop down around freezing, they begin growing past the soil surface and intothe full vegetative stage. I hope I am answering your question. Please let meknow if I am still missing your point. Happy days! Christopher HTML +More D. Christopher Rogers Senior Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=======
