Re: [aroid-l] Dry heat death for aroids?

From: "Cooper, Susan L."

Hi Bob, The plants I would like to bring outdoors include Alocasia macrrorhiza, odora, fallax, portei, zebrina reticulata, and frydek; Colocasia gigantea, illustris, black magic, red stem, and nancy's revenge; and Xanthosoma robustum. They will be under a covered patio for most of the day, but then the sun comes around in the afternoon, so I may try to shade them with my palm trees or bananas. I'm also going to put in a misting system to see if that helps. Any other info you can offer in terms of growing the above species outdoors in Tucson's dry heat would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Leslie
