Jaime.  Let me get this straight. So -- you pot them up in what
medium? With what if any fertilizer? And then you put them in the
refrigerator when? At what temperature? Do you ever modify the
temperature, the light, the water?

More facts or even theories about forcing Arisaema, please!

In passing, by now I have horizonless rows of nameless seedlings
from the Alaska-China expedition. Is there yet a list of what's
what? I have juvenile Primula, Iris, Aconitum, Arisaema and
more -- all looking vigorous.
