ARISAEMAS (Araceae)
Arisaema are becoming increasingly popular in Britain, following huge success in both Europe and the USA where American growers are having a 'love affair' with these interesting and unusual species of plants. Arisaema flowers are best described as either 'very pretty' (Arisaema candidissimum) or 'very interesting' (just about the rest of the arisaemas). Arisaema make a great woodland plant and can be successfully grown in pots (just use large deep pots).

Where to grow Arisaema
Generally arisaema grow best in semi shade or dappled shade. If you are looking for an Arisaema to grow in a sunny position, try looking for Arisaema Candidissimum, great flowers and great foliage.

Arisaema care and growing hints.
A well drained soil rich in humus is best. Arisaema can be plante d quite deeply, up to 12 inches. Drainage is important, arisaema can rot during winter if they become water logged. Arisaema die back during winter, watch out for frosts in spring when new shoots are appearing. We suggest dividing arisaema in late winter rather than early winter, it seems that disturbing arisaema before winter may be one of the factors that causes the bulbs to rot.
