Re: [Aroid-l] voodoo lilly

Dracunculus vulgaris here in Norfolk, VA, stays in the ground year round. They are in shade among small transplanted dogwood trees. Blooms like a trooper. For better or worse, when the first one was planted right next to the fromt door- big mistake though the stench is fortunately short lived! Oldest one was almost 4' tall this year. A real show stopper though appeals to a limited audience!

Is this Dracunculus vulgaris we're talking about?
Here in Canby, OR zone 7-8 I leave mine planted in the
ground year-round.  It has grown, bloomed
successfully, multiplied, and smelled up the
neighborhood (slightly) for more than 20 years.  I
never dig it up except to divide clumps and sell some
of the tubers.

Dear Friends,

Yes, (actually I believe it is now Typhonium vulgaris!). In cooler climes like Oregon, it and other Cormous/tuberous aroids seem to do well if left (mulched) in the ground year-round, but her in Florida the cormous/tuberous aroids such as Caladium, Amorphophallus, etc. sometimes will rot if, during dormancy, they are left in the ground. Our cool season/"winter", with its cold/cool then hot then cold again cycles confuse the plant into stopping, then starting, then stopping growth during these months, so I suggested removing the plant from the soil/pot, and storing it for the duration of 'winter' in a paper bag kept in a cool place!

Dear Jerry,

Welcome to aroid-l!
I`m by no means an expert on the growing of the
'voodoo lily', but since it is an aroid that does go dormant, I can offer the
following tips/suggestions. It will 'go down' into dormancy
once it gets cold enough where you live, and once the leaves start to turn
yellow, cut way back then stop on the watering, and once all the leaves are
withered and brown, remove the corm from the soil and store in a paper bag in a
cool place, say on a garage shelf. Next spring, once W. Cen. Florida
begins to warm up, the tuber must be checked regularly for signs of new
growth, it will begin to put out either a bloom or new plant growth, and
should be potted out at this time, start watering slowly at first, once the new
plant has rooted in, begin a system of regular light fertilization. Enjoy!
Good luck, and
GOOD GROWING!
