[Arisaema-l] A. griffithii culture

[kevinluff5092]

Hi thanks for the ID. I have not had my plant for long but am sharing experience of others. Plants were outside all year getting whatever the elements give. We have also not had a frost this winter and several growers have reported many arisaema were very late coming out of dormancy and some such as tortuosum still aren't up . They think its the warm temperature of winter Do you think the nz form is-different from others perhaps being more tolerant to warmer wet conditions. It come up on time this year maybe our clone doesn't require much cold.do you think habitat forms could have different requirements. Id hate you to try your griffithii wet and they all rot.

>I grew mine from seed.  It finally bloomed last year.  But this spring we had a hard freeze when the plant was just starting to grow.  I did not put the pot inside as I should have so the plant froze.  During the summer a small tuber began to grow but who knows when and if it will ever bloom again.

Well, Nancy, I now know you have more than eight green thumbs.  Did you keep your pots moist during the winter?  It sounds like griffithii isn't as sensitive to winter moisture as I once thought.
