Fellow Arisaema enthusiasts,

Since some of the recent posts have dealt with pollination, I have two qu=estions that deal with post pollination.

1. Will a female inflorescence remain in flower longer if it is pollinate=d?

2. Does it help to peel the wilting spathe tube from the spadix to help i=n seed formation? Thinking of Ringens and others that may be prone to low=seed set.

Any thoughts?
