ABSTRACT:

Recent improvement in the success of propagation techniques employed for general aroid collections prompts me to pass on the information to other members. Though I was not trained as a horticulturist, my trial and error procedures in the establishment of thousands of newly introduced aroids over the course of several years has of necessity educated me. Although I am still not satisfied with my loss rate, there has been so much improvement that I feel compelled to pass on this information in hopes of inducing others to report on successful propagation techniques.
