[Arisaema-l] A. griffithii culture

[DAVID LEEDY]

I am so relieved to find that I am not the only person in the world who has problems with this plant.  After trying about every thing I could think of, I have rotted well over $100 worth of tubers to no avail.

Could folks talk about culture for A. griffithii.  I’ve tried a few times, both in the garden and in pots, and can’t even get the darn thing out of dormancy.   I’ve used a soil less mix or a soil less mix where the tuber was surrounded by turface to increase drainage.  I usually hold off on watering until I see growth but as I said, can’t even get the darn thing out of dormancy.  Most Arisaema come out of dormancy in May in Atlanta so I know not to expect anything until well into the growing season.  Maybe it’s the heat. 
  
Thanks
