>Last season the leaf stalks of my arisaemas grew very stretched and some
>were rather twisted, as a result of which they broke. This caused a
>premature ending of the growth.
>The difference with what I used to do, is that I mixed the potting compost
>with bone meal, some 3 months before potting.
>I have to admit that I kept the potting compost in the pots constantly
>moist and that I added as fertilizer every 12 to 14 days a
>solution of appr. 1 0/00 20-20-20  plantprod. (1gr/liter)
>What did I do wrong that could have caused this stretched and gnarled
>growth of the leaf stalks ?
>Eagerly awaiting your reactions, greetings,
