Steve,

at ebay France there  is an aroider who sells seeds every autumn.
I bought some seeds in 2018; 10/10 germinated...

see:

No idea, if seeds can be imported into the US without restrictions; for

Germany there are none for small amounts of seeds (let alone CITES spec.)

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Long ago I decided to risk a small tuber of Synandrospadix, an offset

from a larger plant, outdoors here one winter (NW Arkansas, zone 6).

In the spring the original plant began to leaf out in the greenhouse,

but there was no sign of the one outdoors.

After several weeks, with foliage on the one in the greenhouse well

developed, I couldn't stand it any longer and dug down to check on the

one outside. The tuber was firm and intact, but no sign that it had

broken dormancy. Unfortunately, I damaged the growing point during the

health check, and it never formed another and died, so results

inconclusive - did it die from shovel blight, or was it never going to

break dormancy anyway?

The original plant never made another offset - Wilbert warned me that

only young plants of that species do - and it seems not to be

self-fertile so I've never gotten seeds. I need to get a second plant,

but it doesn't seem to be offered often, plus I'd like to get one with

provenance from somewhere that gets some cold.

Steve
