Hi, Wayne. I have A. sikokianum, A. candidissimum, A. triphyllum and
Pinellia tripartita...all are planted in ordinary garden soil, with good
drainage, that is allowed to dry slightly between waterings. I noticed
that A. triphyllum growing in the wild here in Niles grows on the highest
part of stream and river banks, nowhere near the water's edge (by Dowagiac
Creek, about 30' above water level). So I am thinking that they would not
do well if kept constantly moist at a moderate level.
