RE: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Sanderiana dormant

It is quite possible that your sanderiana is dormant. You could try
unpotting the rhizome and checking for rot disease. If all looks well,
remove any dead tissues, repot in fresh potting mix and waterit in. Keep
it semi dry until it starts to make new growth.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Sanderiana dormant


I recently was forced to move all of my Aroids to my
attic because of some major renovations in my home. I
have since moved them back into a permanent winter
growing room under lights with some natural sunlight.
My A. Sanderiana Has shed all of its leaves and I
believe that the cooler Temperature in the attic
caused it to go dormant. The attic had dropped to the
low 40's at night and a few specimens had suffered
including my Alocasia and my Sauromatun Venosum.  The
lowest night Temperature now is 62 degrees. Has
anybody experienced this before?
