Remember the weird yet beautiful bloom from March?
The plant withstood my balcony conditions until last week when almost all of a sudden the two leaves startewd yellowing and flopping over.
I knew it was time!
I lifted it up, and I saw most of the roots were mushy. I guess I continued watering it long after I should have stopped.
The rhizome itself is much bigger than I remember (at potting time) and I can see 2-3 little offshoots developing, so hopefully next spring I will see more than just two leaves.
I cleaned all the dead roots, leaving only the still-ok ones and moved it to another much smaller pot, without watering.
Won't need water till next spring I THINK!
Would love to try different ones... A. griffithii var pradhanii being probably my favorite but I still yet have to buy seeds/rhizomes.

Arisaema ringens in "full bloom"
In between commas, cause, well, it's not really what someone would call a bloom.
But I would!
And here it is!
Has it been a month since I got it in a trade from Japan?
I'd sooo love to grow others... Arisaema griffithii v. Pradhanii, perhaps???

Arisaema ringens from JAPAN
I'm very proud of this, it's a huge rhizome and I promise to make it bloom.
Since I managed to kill two Arisaema griffithii as I planted them out in the garden and the 2011 winter proved to "cold" for them I decided no more weird plants.
But here I am, bragging about this!
When I opened the box and saw it, I was "WOW" and instantly made up my mind to do my best to accommodate it as best I can.
I went out to a nearby park with some trees and gathered some top soil mixed with leaves, mixed it with some vermiculite, potting mix and sand and after "roasting" it in the oven for a while, I planted the Arisaema in it.
