Overwintering Arisaemas in NYC

From: Neal Weissman <nweissma at gmail.com> on 2009.08.05 at 00:22:59(19631) I live in NYC. I have 2 A. propinquums, grown from corms of unknown maturity, and potted since May 24 of this year. They are both sporting exceptionally healthy foliage (no spathe-spadix yet). From what I have been reading, it appears that overwintering them indoors is adequate, where an ambient temperature of 65-70 degrees will be maintained. What else do I need to know: is it normal that they will lose their foliage, or is foliage-loss a symptom of illness? HTML +More --0016e6d7ec286211cf04705a0185----==============‰34928714570181515=

From: Leon Karahalis <pirgosleonidas at yahoo.com> on 2009.08.06 at 03:09:18(19643) I was told that there is only one Arisaema that is tropical and that even t hat one loses its leaves in the dry season. Believe it or not, your NYC ap artment is just that, tropical, because it does not freeze. Other than tha t I have no information for you, sorry. --- On Tue, 8/4/09, Neal Weissman wrote: > From: Neal Weissman +More > Subject: [Aroid-l] Overwintering Arisaemas in NYC > To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > Date: Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 8:22 PM > I live in NYC.
