[Aroid-l] Amorphophallus lambii growing conditions

From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2011.02.11 at 18:54:11(21932) Aroidrs, last year I could get 4 lambii seeds form http://www.rarepalmseeds.com/index2.shtml and I guess that they were really lambii. +More They germinated and grew happily till December and went dormant. They were grown in a small plastic tunnel greenhouse in a wintergarden on a heating mat. Outside the plastic tunnel temperatures went down to 12 °C ( 53 °F ). The temperature under the pot inside the tunnel was 30 - 32 °C ( 86 - 90 °F ); I did not take the air tempeature in the tunnel or the temperature of the substrate in the pot. The other day I checked the pot and found the rotted tubers ( 0.5 to 1 cm). I learned from the archive that lambii was successfully grown from Craig M. Allen, Fairchild Tropical Garden, and Reggie Whitehead, Florida. Pease comment on my growing conditions and (even more interesting) improvements....... Happy growing, Bernhard. _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
