Re: [Aroid-l] Synandrospadix hardiness???

Adam:

The hardiness of synandrospadix seems to depend on where the plant

originated. Most of the plants in the trade seem to be from Uruguay.

Synandrospadix that we have tried from Uruguay were not hardy for us, by

my accessions from Northern Argentina have been fine in the ground for

many years...coldest of 8 degrees F., so far. They flower nicely every

season now. The Uruguay plants also had leaves that were much less

glaucous than plants from Northern Argentina. I hope this helps.

Hi everybody,

I purchased a Synandrospadix vermitoxicus last weekend and was curious

if anyone has ever tested the cold hardiness of this species. I am in

"zone 8" of northern Florida where we normally see several hard

freezes each winter. I will most likely protect this plant for now

until I have additional material to experiment with, but it would be

nice to have one less plant to try to fit into my greenhouse in the

winter.

Thanks!
