when my pots of
Arisaema cilitatum var liubaense have lost their leaves, I find it amusing to turn my growing pot upside down to count the tubers.
as after a year or two with less care and excess weather, my number of Arisaema plants had fallen back, i've been pampering them this year.
I find that Arisaema ciliatum
in pots produce many more bulbils than in the ground.
in a 20 cm pot, with good, rich soil and watering with a light liquid fertiliser every 15 days: it's a big improvement!
at the start, I had about thirty leaves, many of them very small, and only 2 produced male flowers.
Now I have 8 tubers that are sure to flower next year (3 cm), or even more (maybe the 2 cm tubers will flower...). All in all, a harvest of 125 tubers
.
