> Does anyone have any advice for germinating Arum seed?


Hi  Paul,

I  just  sow them  when I  get them  like  I  do  for  everything  else. =I
think its  the  same  as  most   seed  - if its  viable  you are in luck.=My
recent  results  are  below.


Source      Sown                Germinate=d

Arum elongatum                  AEG         April 2000          Nil

Arum concinnatum albispathum    AGS         Dec 2000            May 2001

Arum creticum                   AGS         Dec 2000            Nil

Arum orientale                  AEG         April 2001          August  2=001


Both those which  have  germinated this  year  are still  growing.
