[Arisaema-l] A. griffithii culture

Mon Jan 6 02:25:16 CET 2014

That is enough for me not to try it again in the Atlanta area. There are a
lot of Arisaemas that grow well in the southeastern USA, so I don't want to
waste time with ones that don't like it here.

Nice to have some discussion on the Arisaema-L, which needs more posts !!

I note Tony Avents comment at Plant Delights:

A. griffithii occurs in open forests to 12,000' in elevation, and for this
reason, resents summer heat and summer moisture...plant at the base of a
large tree or shrub for best results. - See more at:

They currently don't have it...maybe for this reason (they are near
Raleigh).

Clear skies,
Al

Yes the plants have been grown in pots and in the garden in wet part of nz
and this form has done really well. They have not been dried out in winter
just left in ground. Have done well for over 15 year's in garden. The plant
was collected in a very remote part of India near the Burmese border. I've
posted another photo for your comment. The importers had kept plants for
many years to themselves before releasing them. They lived in a area
climate wise is very simular to where I live but are much wetter especially
in winter.I was wondering if its a habitat form that is more amenable to
culture. Our summer day temperature are 20 to 25degrees Celsius on average
and nights are 12-16 degrees Celsius on average. I will be trying to get
seed and if successful Will send to society seedbank. Cheers Kevin from
sunny New Zealand.

>I posted some photos of a arisaema which one person has replied saying it
might be griffithii and this clone does really well in our very mild wet
winters. Low temperatures below 0 degrees C are rare here. Night
temperature between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius are the normal in winter here

Please tell us more…..outdoors during the winter?  In pots?  In the
ground?   You’re a Kiwi?  Well, that explains it.  I consider my Kiwi
friends to be the luckiest people in the world and most can make a dead
stick grow.  Your temperatures sound similar to Atlanta, although we get a
little colder (20 F) but the ground doesn’t freeze much below a few
inches.  >From the little I know of griffithii, it grows in the Himalayas,
so I imagine it has a cold, dry winter and probably doesn’t like hot
summers.
