This method was suggested to me for sowing bulb seed.... I just used the
same for the Arisaemas and it worked.  They then stay in their community
pot until they go into their first dormancy.  I have not yet repotted any
Arisaema seed in its first year.... I don't want to disturb their roots a=t
all as I want to get them as big and healthy as possible. Most commercial
seed mixes have a little fertiliser in them as well so they have food.

A quick correction........ I said in my previous message (excerpt above)
that "I have not yet repotted any Arisaema seed in it's first year"....
which is incorrect.  I meant "... in it's first growing season".  This
varies from species to species and pot to pot, but I think the longest I
have had a seedling grow at this stage is 6-7 months before it's first
dormancy, not a year.  Thought I had beter clarify that.

I would also like to apologise for all the spelling mistakes and other
typos etc in my previous message.  I am obviously more tired than I
realised as I HAD reread it before posting, but missed it all until I
reread it when it came through to the list.  Sigh!!!!!  Murphy's Law
strikes again <grin>.


Cheers.
