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
