Hi Bernard,.

that I can only confirm that Sciaridae tubers are good friends of the Amorphophallus. I lost several tubers.

This is related to all types, not just A.atroviridis.


The rest of the theme I can connect me only your words. The tubers up only pot if definitely growth is visible.

Hello

I was the one who has sued over there. Thank you for the PN, Bernhard!

I have never had problems with Sciaridae and Amorphophallus, except with atroviridis as mentioned. I keep my tubers all dry and from getopft, until the first Austriebe come in the spring. Then I plant all they and moist at the Earth, the tubers without beads come then almost at the same time as the others out of the Earth, therefore I wait not yet until they expel. Note: These are all still very small tubers! Hence small quick-drying pots.
I use mixed very loose coconut substrate (KOKOSNÖT IKEA) with Perliten. With other plants, I had the experience that Sciaridae dislike this substrate (in contrast to normal potting soil) and really only in the pot, if the plant most go off is. It is very airy and dries well, can be easy to moisten but also in the dried state.

My first atroviridis bulb I naturopplevingar bought and planted a while later, but she do not drive. The Ausbuddeln revealed then, that the tuber was go up on a pea-sized pieces. This little drive but actually still out. The resulting tuber is dried up but over the winter with the bearings.

The following year I ordered 3 tubers from Thailand. They were really great, unfortunately one is moldy during transport. I've stored dark and dry, like the other tubers, the other two, as was already autumn. Dried unfortunately they are up just after. I've even planted one, but nothing happened to it.

This year I bought a new bulb and just planted (because I did not want that she dried up), but the lowest bit (the bulb is very long, like a carrot) had it probably to damp and was blown away. The rest is still intact and I'll make a, doing something at the top. I hope this works now, finally.

I also think I have a list read times, where Amorphophallus species, divided into groups once with dry rest period and once stood which, where don't dry the bulb in the rest period should and atroviridis in not dry (or had a special position).

Well, I wonder whether coming here even more experiences!

Greeting,
Christian

Hi Christian.

So as I read this, you're right everything.

In fact, there is this list, which you mention. That is called dormancy list. Enter times in the search here on the Forum that. There you will find the said list then.

Atroviridis belongs to the Group 1 Amorphophallus. This group is generally dry stored.
I have also always dry stored this way and never had problems with it.

Look you here:

There read in the soil.

The only thing I find very negative, is the coconut substrate. Coconut has a stupid habit to have no nutrients and also very bad store. For this reason, Koko is used in hydroponics.

To use coconut, you'd have at least 1 times a day pour the substrate so that the nutrient level remains the same.
Coconut applied the "drain to waste" method.

Amorphophallus need rich, nutrient-rich soil. Atroviridis for example like firmer, clay-based soils, how many species from Thailand.

Thanks, I already know these lists. Now that I it again have regarded me, I think I've confused which atroviridis needs no damp rest period, but different substrate, this was what I myself probably reminded.
Well, that I have getopft the tubers, posted related Yes above all, dried that she ungetopft always up are without to drive...

EDIT: Stephen, I'm using the coconut substrate only, because the Sciaridae non tuned go and because I like to forget to pour and potting soil is most often a dry stone, where water simply rolls off. Therefore laziness.

Now they are all already driven... next year I try again perhaps a mixture of Earth.

You can do a small layer of gravel or sand on the Earth at normal Earth. Since the Sciaridae not come also.

Always dry store Yes Atroviridis.
It is also important to store not only dry but also cool. Nothing should dry up but at 15 ° C and dry storage.
When you dry you up without Earth, you may put them also into dry Earth and during the rest period not pour. Perhaps only during the rest period a few splashes water on the ground against. This should dry out that prevent.


I know that with the Earth. Therefore, I'm not normal potting soil from the hardware store but Earth peat-based. She can be easily again to moisten.

An Amorphophallus atroviridis I have though but not an A. operculatus which refuses since November 2010 to exorcise. I've scratched times today on the Corm she lives but will not expel them.

had to look so whether the bulb is still alive because it was externally not well seen
at the moment, she will be stored dry. Tried but she keep something wet, but because she wanted to not cast out also. am curious whether that sometime still chooses auszuteiben à. It is to a very small bulb with 4 g I got it now it has after this long time still less weight

Yes 4 g. belongings she now again weighed if my Wagge does the tuber is easy now only 2 g hard

I think the main problem is that the tip is away (blown off, way gefault?) and the tuber apparently has problems to make a new Triebspitzte. It amazes me that who still lives

Have now sought after the tuber photo from November 2010 to the comparison so it looks now out
has the color of changed and she declined somewhat

Hi,.

Unfortunately I have my Atroviridis this year not over the winter brought, just as the Paeonifolius.

I think that this was due to the temperature, all tubers in the basement at about 5-10°C. The tubers were properly in the spring mud. Overwintering has adapted all the others probably, but I think this is yet too cold.

As regards the Sciaridae, so I've reduced last year a gigantic invasion in a few days to zero. HAB Nexion (active ingredient: Chlorpyrifos) used. Have achieved but, although it was indeed a good year, practically no root growth. I don't know if this had to do with the Nexion.

Hello

so 5-10 degrees is too little.

There should be minimum 15 degrees. In the natural environment, it is not so cold.

I had an injury to my consimilis tuber.

Since then stock I they only dark at 15-20 degrees.

Wanted to just again give feedback that my bulb has been successfully and with a beautiful velvety leaf pleases me now while the other stinker already begin to collect. :-)

Thank you for the whole instructions here to A. atroviridis.

I had bought me the art in Blankenberge (since it runs on the largest European exchange of succulent plant to Belgium and comes back with 2 Amorphophallus ).
Is it "normal" that this type has several Austriebe (currently available as 3 leaves in the pot) or are also 3 tubers in the ground?

Ciao Tobias

Hello

that depends entirely on the size of tubers on it. Small tubers which may occur and at large also. Then, but only if the tuber has a damage.

Consimilis like at my. It has flourished this year and now have 3 leaves in the pot.

Then I leave times be surprised, what awaits me in the pot, when she has recovered.

Ciao Tobias
