Re: [Aroid-l] Invasive aroids?

From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <branchiopod at gmail.com> on 2018.08.14 at 21:17:05(23964) That is a really good point. I have seen Syngonium podophyllum growing out of control in Thailand, Laos, Taiwan, and also wild in Guam, where it was frequently in the company of Monstera deliciosa, Epiprenum pinnatum and E. aureum, plus various Caladium vaietals. I just checked my notes: I also had E. aureum growing wild in Taiwan. Happy days, Christopher HTML +More On 14 August 2018 at 15:58, Peter Boyce wrote: Here in Malaysia Syngonium podophyllum is pestilential, even invading mature secondary forest. Dieffenbachia not much better.

Around here (Nashville, middle Tennessee) Arum italicum could probably become invasive, but the leaves are obvious enough that it can be pulled or dug and shared with a warning. But my experience with the Pinnellia spp. tells me to refuse to share this one most seriously. Never have tried Gonatopus outside – would be surprised to find it seed hardy this far north, but it might be – don’t think I’ll test it out. Good Growing!

I'm wondering whether there are any aroids that are considered invasive? I know some aquatics can be (e.g. Pistia stratiotes), but what about any land-based ones? _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -- D.
