Re: Dracontium amazonense

Further re. this very interesting species:  the VERY long time it takes for tubercles to sprout: any tips on speeding this up?  I have had them in-soil and viable for almost 2 years with no action!

Subject: [Aroid-l] Dracontium amazonense

I have a Dracontium amazonense that I wrote about before. Now it has grown a new leaf alongside the one it had all season. I thought these grew durring the year and then went dormant for the winter months. So first should it be growing a new leaf (a bigger one at that) and second when should/how should I let /make it go dormant?
Thank you.
