Hello Luke,

To Arisaema flavum you can find here http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/anzuc... s-f26/t5194-f14 a breeding report - there I had written that I would not separate them; Possibly to a larger pot, if the ausarate pot is bulging out; but I don't think that's going to happen in the first season.
Ada has also written something about her planted A. flavum: http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/arisa... en-f27/t5974-f7

Colocasia lihengiae has not been described for so long; here: https://ejournal.sinica.edu.tw/bbas/cont.../bot424-10.html says:

"Distribution and Habitat

Colocasia lihengiae grows in clusters of 1-4 individuals in small populations at edges of and in forests in limestone areas at 600 m. Other aroids in the same habitats include Alocasia odora Koch, A. navicularis (C. Koch) C. Koch, A. longiloba Miq., Colocasia gigantea (Bl.) Hook. f., C. esculenta (L.) Schott, Pothos scandens L., Remusatia vivipara (Roxb.) Schott, and Rhaphidophora decursiva (Roxb.) Schott."

So you can cultivate the safely like other Colocasia e.g. esculenta simply in humic substrate and warm.
The species was found in the south of Yunnan; the climate should therefore be certainly subtropical or tropical; Whether the part belongs to the tropical part with rain and dry season ( http://www.chinareise.com/china-reiseziele/xishuangbanna.php ), does not tell me.

How long has the sowing of paeoniifolius been?

Happy ggrowing, Bernhard.

Hello Luke,

paeoniifolius germinates rel quickly when the seed is OK, but after 5 -6 weeks this could also come.... just wait and keep moist at all.

For other species, it can also take months for them to germinate...; the last borneensis I sown are germinated after 2 months, a spec Boracay only after 4 months.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello Luke,

the Colocasia looks very good, the Arisaema.... well, spider mites are really a problem....
What are you doing against them?

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello Lukas,

these are nice little nodules!

The question arises about wintering...; possibly in slightly damp sphagnumn in the refrigerator???
Does anyone else have an idea?

Happy growing, Bernhard.

My approximately 5 mm large nodules of A. flavum are not dehydrated when stored dry at room temperature. They have only allowed themselves a longer rest period than expected. These were potted together with the larger tuber, which sprouted quite early due to the warm storage, but did not sprout. During the harvest of the large tuber, I harvested all but one (was hollow) intact all but one of the nodules that had not been expelled, all of which sprouted the next spring without further losses.
