Re: [Aroid-l] Arum lily (reed) frog LINDA


Linda,

How much light do your plants get each day?  How is the soil quality? 
I have 3 separate planting of  Zantedeschia aethiopica and the
shadiest bed produces wonderful foliage, but no blooms.  The other two
planting get more sunlight and are currently blooming. Do you
fertilize them? I fed mine a nicely balance fertilizer (I used
16-16-16 granules for use in cool weather) a few weeks ago and they
seemed to perk right up.  Also trimming off any damaged foliage from
slug, frost, or insects help to initiate new growth.
