Vegetative propagation of Arisaema ringens

[Martin Ashworth]

Nancy
Not tried pulling peices off with leaves attached.
Ones I leave in ground, overwinter, are all Sino-Himalayan which seem to be
hardy enough in UK. Ones I bring in are Sikokianum (which has just
sprouted), Barnesii (unsure on hardiness) (anyone with experience on
this??), Omeiense( because it is small and may get 'lost' in garden) and
Nepenthoides ( because it is early). All are kept in cold greenhouse in pots
which are not watered from the time they are brought in until shoots start
to appear.
