Fans of the dead horse

in some other topics horse was written about the dead (Helicodiceros muscivorus) Yes often.
I do but once immediately it on the subject, so that the info combine here somewhere...

As a continuation of post # 30 here:
Typhonium venosum in the open air summer?
It is noted that the small Dracunculus has not survived, but the small Helicodiceros bulb is driven out.
The way seems to be winter hardy in zone 7B near Hannover in a very light, well drained sandy soil.

Unfortunately I've not photographed the plant and she moved very early again. But the tuber was also very small.
I wonder whether it is from back in the spring.

Plants in pots this deficit also not look so good, as in the last year; It was probably too cold and unstable, but the roots look very nice.
I hope that the tubers have risen yet.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hi Achim,.
This is already normal as the way in Sardinia has Herbstes/winter again the conditions for a new growth after the dry summer with beginning of wetter.
In the summer with the start of the dry, hot season, the rest period begins for the dead horse.
In autumn, so now, the tubers are off then.
You can switch to but the tubers on our summer/Winterrhytmus, as long as possible out delays the emergence as by cold storage and the plants moist durchkuktiviert in the summer and then dry in late autumn can be and as cool stores.
I have unfortunately also again as a few special tubers who want to my statements holder and now cast out... this year
Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hi Achim,.

well, if they are planted and in the leaves, you have probably only the choice to leave them there.
But in zone 8a should be the way you be winter hardy and if the site well drain ends one floor without Staumässe has, that would be also helpful.
Dredge is critical, because the roots are quite brittle. But if there are multiple plants, I would dig out probably one or two.
Do but ' times a photo – that would be very interesting; and please let know us as a friend is - good luck

Happy overwintering, Bernhard.

Hi Achim,.

Thank you for the picture!
I am already looking forward to the update in next May.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hi Achim,.
the leaves will be not frost-resistant, but in may, the deaths could again expel horse.
The rain is a good idea.
Happy growing, Bernhard.

Moin Achim,

up to what temperature do the leaves it than audgehalten?

When the pot culture, the roots die off completely to docking. At least if you keep then dry the tubers; I don't know how it looks, if you keep them on moist.
I would not dig up your plants in may, as I would expect, that they make now roots and expel sometime in May.
They are very brittle root.

In my, it was so that they spring out there in pots are initially driven, then but soon pulled up, what I put on the cold and wet weather last year. After the wet summer, I had actually expected that the tubers all are rotten.
When it was colder then and still wet, I got in then prefer but the pots and was very surprised that it only as springing from all pots!index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 788The photo is of the 01.01.2012.
I would have not thought that the confiscated tubers without prejudice to survive this wet summer.

You come out these days again, because the plants grow out there better than in the winter garden.
In the fall, I'll make then dry in a short frost-free Kühklschrank and put out that they only drive in the aril or beginning of may, when I then after they out there instead.

Happy growing, Bernhard.
