Spathicarpa question

From: Tindomul Er-Murazor <tindomul1of9 at yahoo.com> on 2008.09.21 at 01:38:09(18556) hello all, I have a Spathicarpa, does this genus go dormant? I have it growing in a wet terrarium, at first I thought maybe it was too wet, but then it grew and flowered a few times. Then it lost all its leaves, but the corm/tuber is still nice and hard and green and has lots of healthy white roots. Any ideas why it would stop producing leaves? Conditions in the tank have not changed.

From: "Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2008.09.22 at 18:00:34(18569) Hello! What species do you have? I have S. sagittifolia, which can go dormant on occasion. I have grown this plant for four years, and there seems to be no pattern to its dormancy, which lasts a month or less. The plant does need high humidity, but also needs moving air, like orchids. Without the air movement, you will lose leaves and can get some rot, which can kill the tuber. This species also likes to be kept in the shade, with only indirect light, which yields nice green leaves and lots of blooms. In brighter light the leaves become pale and sickly white or yellow. I hope this helps, Christopher HTML +More D.

From: Riley2362 at aol.com on 2008.09.23 at 12:10:59(18573) My Spathicarpa saggitifolia grows quite happily under moderate fluorescent lights and loves water at the root zone - almost semiaquatic with no dormancy. Its only dormancy comes when I let it dry out then it loses some top growth but bounces right back from a good soaking. It has no special humidity requirements and is always in flower.

I keep this species pretty wet, and there is air movement becuase the tank I have it in has a fan attached to it, its enough to keep the orchids in there happy. I have not seen any evidence of rot from the tuber or the leaves, and I have had this species flower in the tank. Although I will not rule out anything at this point. I've attached some pictures, where you can see the flower, and perhaps the leaves. I believe these are saggittiform. > From: crogers@ecoanalysts.com HTML +More > To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:00:34 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Spathicarpa question Dear Friends, I THINK I recall Dr. Eduardo Goncalves saying that this genus occured in areas that are seasonal wet, then become very dry and parched , so going dormant for a while in the time of its original summer season (Oct.to Jan-Feb.??) might be ''natural'' for this plant.

We used to refer to this var./form/species as S. hastifolia because of the hastiform shape of the leaf blades. It is also noted in the same book that it has a dormant season and starts growing at the beginning of the rainy season.

Now that I know where it hails from, I have a better idea of its life history. Do you know if dry season over there is during their summer or winter? I assume summer. Should I remove the tuber/corm and give it a rest as I would a Calla lily or will it be fine in soggy soil I have had it growing in for the last 7 months? --- On Mon, 9/29/08, aroid-l-request@gizmoworks.com wrote: From: aroid-l-request@gizmoworks.com HTML +More Subject: Aroid-L Digest, Vol 50, Issue 47 To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Date: Monday, September 29, 2008, 3:01 PM Send Aroid-L mailing list submissions to aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to aroid-l-request@www.gizmoworks.com You can reach the person managing the list at aroid-l-owner@www.gizmoworks.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Aroid-L digest..."

I believe that members of the same Genera also do the same. I have propagated Gonotopus Boivinii this way as well and plan to try it with Gonotopus Angustus soon. A friend from Australia considers them to be weeds because they grow so easily this way for him. There are experts here that have successfully propagated Amorphophallus in this way.

We used to refer to this var./form/species as S. hastifolia because of the hastiform shape of the leaf blades. It is also noted in the same book that it has a dormant season and starts growing at the beginning of the rainy season. The only person who can give you a ''for certain'' ID on your plant is Dr. Eduardo Goncalves in Brazil. Good Luck and Good Growing. Julius >> Hello all, > > Thanks so much for the responses. I don't know what species I have. I bought it from an ebay vendor. I keep this species pretty wet, and there is air movement becuase the tank I have it in has a fan attached to it, its enough to keep the orchids in there happy. I have not seen any evidence of rot from the tuber or the leaves, and I have had this species flower in the tank. Although I will not rule out anything at this point. > I've attached some pictures, where you can see the flower, and perhaps the leaves.
