"forcing" arisaema « Thread Started on Sept 12, 2004, 7:31am »
Now that the earliest of the plants from last years seedlings are losing their leaves, I'm thinking of forcing one or two of them. Anyone have any advice?

kind of depends on when yours go dormant. Some of my A. triphyllums went dormant in August, so after 3 months in the fridge I might get two seasons in next year, however my A. tortuosum have been up 5 months, the last two still going strong, (although the last couple of frosty night will be sure to put them to bed for the winter), so 3 mths in the fridge and another five months growing and I'd struggle to make much head way forcing them. Even my yearling seem reluctant to give up and go to sleep for the winter. sorry I'm rambling, truth is I haven't done it, but in the uk if we're not going to get long cold winters, most will be up and around early next year anyway. If you have a go let me know how you get on.
