Re: [Aroid-l] Psuedodracontium , horizontal planting ?

From: "Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2008.09.12 at 11:46:28(18504) Hiyer! That is not how they want to grow. I use lengths of 10 inch diameter PVC pipe. The tubers need lots of oxygen and good drainage, or they will rot, so I drill half inch holes all over the pipe and line it with old shade cloth. I use old shade cloth for the bottom as well. So far, lots of good growth! Cheers, Christopher HTML +More D.

I just planted some very long P. fallax tubers , and was lucky to have an extra tall pot to put them in . But if they get any longer , what will I grow them in next year ? Could I grow them just by laying them in a large pot instead of standing up ? I thought this might intiate some dormant growth points along the length of the tuber somehow , and maybe give some offsets . There are some very nice glazed ceramic pots available that are nearly 1m high , though a bit expensive , they would be perfect for these .
