Book Resources

Has anyone in the group written a book on growing EE's - a detailed view from start to finish? Or refer to a great book?

Need some detailed help - for some reason, I'm not having great luck with growing very small alocasia (Borneo, etc) from seedling to juvenile.

How are you watering and how much and when?
Soil mixture?
How old should they be before adding fertilizer?
Best to have constant heat below baby plants?

My small plants don't seem to be making it.

From start to adult in greenhouse.

There is a book (not written by a member as far as I am aware)
called "Aroids" by Deni Brown. It is a good book but probably not
what you are looking for. There is not much culture information in
it.

We need LariAnn to write us a book. I don't know anyone else
who knows as much about aroids, especially culture. She does
have quite a few excellent Dave's Garden pages written that
can be accessed here:

Sorry, about that - when I went to copy the link the
page closed. But this one may be better anyway - it
lists ALL of the articles, just move to the bottom of the
page and you will see quite a list!

Thks for more info and I agree, we have some great resource experts here - Brian and LariAnn should co write something together. I would be first customer :)

Anyone have a Robusta they would like to trade or sell? Wonder if it would survive in San Diego?

Michael,

Yes, you are right; I didn't mean to forget about Brian!
I think they should both write a book, but I think their books
would be different and I too would be first in line to buy them!
