Re: [SG] Arisaema candisissimum was: Good Companions

Hi Marge,

A. candidissimum has always been the latest to emerge for us, usually not
even beginning growth until June. But once it starts, it is just a matter
of a week or so before the spathe begins to open, then the leaves emerge.
The age of the plant doesn't seem to matter.

Making offsets will depend on how large of a tuber you started with, of
course, but in a few years you will be able to share them with your
friends. If you leave them in the ground, you will start to see a little
colony of them, where there was just one. They  will actually seperate in
the ground, and look a bit like little red potatoes.
