Re: [aroid-l] Remusatia vivipara

From: "Balistrieri, Carlo" cbalistrieri at nybg.org> on 2003.09.11 at 16:09:32(10569) Tsuh Yang, Although a tuberous aroid (with aerial shoots), Deni Bown's book Aroids, indicates that they have been found growing in trees. Apparently the burred bulbils catch on mammals and/or birds and are carried far and wide. I grew it once upon a time and no longer have it. I would treat it like a tuberous aroid, i.e. pot it up. Use a humusy soil, or epiphyte pot mix, and keep moist but not soggy--you'll rot the tuber. I wouldn't give it full sun. Bright shade is a kind of catch all category. Once you have the plant producing it's bulbils, play with the epiphyte character. Carlo +More Carlo A.
