RE: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus and Anthurium

---

Dear Christoper:

 

            Lynn Hannon always had a lot of luck with things like this in sphagnum and in a plastic box under her benches. It will need a lot of humidity but no water except for occasionally moistening the sphagnum. A see through plastic lid allows you to inspect it without disturbing it.

Hiya,

 

Two separate questions:

 

1)       Can Amorphophallus taurostigma be stored dry during dormancy?

 

2)      I was given a very small offshoot of Anthurium warocqueanum, with two leaves less than an inch in length, and a small root bud. It was removed from the parent main stem. I have planted it in epiphyte mix (because I do not know what else to do with it) and put it in the darkest corner of my greenhouse, in conditions that are similar to where the parent was growing. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to keep it alive and growing?

 

Thank you all in advance!

Christopher
