[Mary Jane Hatfield]

Ellen,
And others of Northern Exposure,

I just checked my Arisaemas in the refrigerator and found some with
growth, anywhere from 1" to 6". What to do?

I do not have good luck with the larger tubers(corms) in pots and
certainly not this year with a severe outbreak of spider mites in the
house/sunspace. Grown in pots, inside, has in the past led to a short
period of growth and very early dormancy.

Last frost date here is May 15 but we are well into a very warm and
early spring. Can I plant these tubers(corms) directly into the ground,
say 8" deep? With more mulch of oak leaves?

What to do? What to do?

Thanks, I appreciate any advice. (each year I get a little bit better at
this)
