[Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived

[Aad van Beek]

Hi Colin,

Thanks. I will stick with the dryish perlite for the arisaema's. 

Next year I will let know how things have worked out for me.

The question that I raised was only for the arisaema's. For all the other species I did take a quick look at the tubers and then replanted them in larger containers that are still standing outside. The arum, dranculus and helicodiceros will remain outside during the winter in a coldframe. The sauromatum, pinellia and zanthedeschia will be stored dry in a frostfree spot until they sprout again end winter, early spring depending on the warmth of the spot they are stored.

Regards Aad

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.

Subject: Re: [Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived 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)
noneconsanguineum(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,

Subject: Re: [Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrivedSeed 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. David J. Leedy3151 Cortez DriveFort Worth, TX  76116 Telephone:  (817) 560-2997Email:  djleedy at sbcglobal.net USDA Hardiness Zone 8 (Avg. Annual Min.
