Re: Psuedodracontium , horizontal planting ?

Hiyer!

 

That is not how they want to grow. I use lengths of 10 inch diameter PVC pipe. The tubers need lots of oxygen and good drainage, or they will rot, so I drill half inch holes all over the pipe and line it with old shade cloth. I use old shade cloth for the bottom as well. So far, lots of good growth!

 

Cheers,

Christopher

Subject: [Aroid-l] Psuedodracontium , horizontal planting ?

 

I just planted some very long P. fallax tubers , and was lucky to have an extra tall pot to put them in . But if they get any longer , what will I grow them in next year ?
Could I grow them just by laying them in a large pot instead of standing up ?
I thought this might intiate some dormant growth points along the length of the tuber somehow , and maybe give some offsets . There are some very nice glazed ceramic pots available that are nearly 1m high , though a bit expensive , they would be perfect for these .
