[Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived

Fri Nov 15 09:07:18 CET 2013

Hi Aad,

I found that storing the tubers in dryish perlite in bags worked fine for
me.

I worry about rotting things if there is too much moisture.

Others I left in their pots with no irrigation until Spring.

I have had success with both of these methods.

Some of the bagged tubers went into the refrigerator and they came out of
dormancy earlier than the others.

Regards Colin

Hello,

As I'm new to arisaema I ordered most of the items on the seedEx list of
2013. Just to get started so to speak.
Based on the experience of David I was skeptic about the the germination of
the different species.

But 3 weeks ago I harvested all my 1 year seedlings and was very surprised
of the yield and the percentage of species germinated.

Here are my results.
Arisaemas (number refer to number of seedEx)
none

consanguineum(86)
jacquemontii(94)
ringens(3)
serratum(25, 26, 27, 34)
triphyllum(17, 70)

1-4 tubers 

candidissimum(11)
ciliatum(1)
taiwanense(16)
tortuosum(5, 46)
triphyllum(6, 8, 91)
triphyllum var.triphyllum(7, 62)

5-10 tubers 

ciliatum var. liubaense(19)
consanguineum(24, 52, 53, 72)
costatum(9)
erubescnes(55)
fargesii(56)
flavum(49)
jaquemontii(47)
serratum(39)

>10 tubers 

ciliatum(21, 22, 37)
ciliatum var. liubaense(57)
consanguineum(23, 58)
flavum(73, 75, 80, 85, 90)
tortuosum(10, 36, 40, 41, 46)

arum 

(29, 33, 35, 48, 66, 67, 68, 76, 77)  all germinated 

(79) no germination

dracunculus (32) germinated

helicodiceros (31, 65) germinated

pinella pedatisecta(78), tripartita(88) germineated, ternata(4) did not
germinate

sauromatum (12, 13) germinated

zanthedeschia (51, 64) germinated

For the arisaema I will split them in one half that goes in the
refrigerator for two months to speed up the growing cycle and the other
half that I will store for next year.

My question is what is the best way to store the tubers.

*	For the ones that goes in the refrig. I will put them in ziplock
bags but should the bags be filled with slightly moist perlite, nothing or
something else?
*	For the ones that are stored outside the refig. Do I store them
best in bags at roomtemperature, bags at bedroom temperature or even lower
temparture? Should I store them dry or wrapped in moist perlite or towels
in either paperbags or ziplock bags?

Cheers,
Aad,
Groningen, Holland, Zone 8a

Seed arrived today, May 17th, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, via the USDA
Inspection station in Houston, TX.  I also would like to express my
gratitude to Eric and others (?) for all of the work and to those who
donate the seed.  I am hoping that next year I will be able to donate as
well as receive.

Rather than dwell on the failure of the seed to germinate, I like bask in
the excitement of those which did.  While I planted around 200 Arum seed
and only have ten seedlings, I am very excited about each of those ten.  I
was a little more successful with Arisaema, and very successful with the
Pinellia (ternata has not yet sprouted).

My question to those living in the northern hemisphere is when do you plant
the seed?  By now, Spring has about sprung and the really hot days of
summer are only weeks away (my Arum are dormant, except for the seedlings),
only one Arisaema has sprouted, and the Pinellia are all sprouted and doing
well.

As always, I appreciate any response.

Dear Eric,

As far as I can see, I have not received the AEG seeds that I ordered. Have
you sent them, or have you been busy?

Best regards,

Sten
