Use a leaf that is firm and mature-- half way through the season or a little more. Trim back the tips to help reduce transpiration, insert in perlite, water and stand back. A plastic bag or terrarium helps, even in a humid climate.<br /><br />A few may rot but those that persist for a matter of weeks are probably forming a new corm at the base. They may sprout new leaves and roots shortly (which means you have a plant) or can go dormant for a cycle before sprouting.<br /><br />I don't know how many species have been tried or if there are some that won't work, but I've generated plants of A. gigas and A. albispathus this way. It would be good to see if it will work with the tropical arisaemas...leadpbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957439101293478340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377621798903033780.post-75933658939973899112009-11-26T03:40:24.731+08:002009-11-26T03:40:24.731+08:00I do have a supposed pygmaeus - to be frank I can...I do have a supposed pygmaeus - to be frank I cannot tell the diff between it and this one.<br /><br />btw do you know a good method to go about making tubers from cuttings ?Hort Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732036923234582077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377621798903033780.post-86112608669809761282009-11-25T10:46:32.274+08:002009-11-25T10:46:32.274+08:00Hort Log-
