Re: [Aroid-l] winter tuber storage for Anchomanes and Tacca

Hi Ken,

I stored my Tacca that I got from down under for 13 months just in dry peat and it woke up this summer and is growing wonderfully. I think this is an awfully easy species to overwinter just dry. There is also a guy selling these direct from Thailand on ebay for what I think are very good prices if anyone is so inclined. Best of luck with yours,

Subject: [Aroid-l] winter tuber storage for Anchomanes and Tacca


I have little experience with these plants and want to treat tubers right this winter - for Anchomanes difformis (and var welwitschii) and for Tacca leontopetaloides. One of the Anchomanes is rather small.

What is the best way to store, in soil or dry?

If the answer is in soil, can it be dry soil? I have a *lot* of trouble with the whole "slightly moist" scenario because the plants and I don't seem to agree upon what that means.

Thanks,
Ken
