This was the first spring for my Arisaema thunbergii, and it went dormant
back in July...sigh...(I'm going to beleive DORMANT rather than DEAD)
My amorphophallus konjac and Sauromatum venosum have both
reappeared in early June here in Zone 7 for the last two years.
They're in truly spectacular soil (very hard worked for here in
the land of clay/chirt), beautifully shaded from hot afternoon sun,
and lovingly hand watered when needed.
But once again this year, they've both already gone dormant.
I'm trying to ascertain if it's too much/little light, too much/little water,
too hot, etc..
This year, both produced baby plantlets, so I don't think they can be
too miserable, but I'd love to hear from folks that have these truly
thriving and blooming, exactly what conditions they're growing them in.
Thanks in advance.
