greenBen Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 As with all Arisaemas go for the good old 'moist but free draining' combo. Oh and shade is good! A nice sheltered spot would suit A. tortuosum... a full size plant should be in flower at 6-8ft! With a good feeding regime the tuber can swell to the size of a grapefruit in just a few years, but even a smallish tuber will flower. greenBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenBen Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Chempac #2 at usual dosage (as per packet) once every fortnight all through the growing season. greenBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
