Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Amorphophallus paeoniifolius worries, 1 by Kaelkitty

Cool, thanks, tropic breeze, I can do that, I need exercise, LOL!. I know what you mean about "cold wet", I lost a lot of cacti in the 1980s until I sorted out a potting mix that dries out fast enough to protect the roots from our winter rains. Of course, on the other hand, it has to not dry out too fast or the soil will cook in the summer time and take the roots with it. Does anyone here know what a good safe overnight minimum would be for A. paeoniifolius when the soil is not completely dry?

Here's a photo of the Aroid pots for this year, which I took this morning - it is a bit "in progress" because I have a lot of winter growers to pot up still, mostly Arum species and Dracunculus vulgaris. Sorry about the "hats" on the pots - until the tubers get going a bit my cat seems to think pots this big are a collection of round litter trays! The green leaves peaking up at the back are Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Green Goddess' which is still one of my all time favourite plants. I shall post some more photos, when I have a bit more growth to show.

Ciao, KK.
