I live in Hollywood, Fl which is right by Ft. Lauderdale (I forget what zone I am in). As far as care, they don't get anything special at all believe it or not. I fertilize a few times a year with 8-10-10 or something similar. They are in regular dirt and cypress mulch. They are protected on both sides by houses so they only get sun for about 5 hours a day as anymore than that would kill the white and make it brown. I never water them unless there is no rain for at least a week, besides that they only get rain water as too much doesn't seem to do well. That's all I can think of for now, anything else just ask.

Re: Ae Ae on Ebay!!

I agree with PAPAK.

I lived about 10 miles West of him and had the same situation. It was planted in the entry way of the house with a 10 ft wall on one side and a 15 ft entryway on the other. Only got direct sun about 3 - 5 hrs a day. It got watered by the sprinkler and fertilized once about every 45 days. It was in Home Depot top soil and organic humus mixed together when I did the area. It was about 4 ft when planted (I had it in a pot for over year, just sitting in the side yard). It took another 1 1/2 years to fruit.

If you remember, last year I moved to West Palm and brought the corm with me. In a large pot it put out over 15 pups of which I sold a lot on e-bay. Hurricane Wilma flooded the pot and it sat in water over a week and rotted. Now I have one 2 ft pup in a pot I'm babying. I had to look at my old e-bay pics because I would have sworn the current pic on e-bay was my old one - close but not the same pic.

I'm patiently waiting on this one to get bigger. They are slow.

Re: Ae Ae on Ebay!!

Re: Ae Ae on Ebay!!

Are you offering them here or on ebay?

Re: Ae Ae on Ebay!!

I can sell them on here, I generally don't use ebay to sell my corms.

It makes sense they are slow...they have half the chlorophyl.

I am in boytnon beach, maybe we can swap some plants?

Re: Ae Ae on Ebay!!
