Arisaema consanguineum problems — and how to fix them
Arisaema consanguineum (Arisaema consanguineum) is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Winter tuber rot
Wet, cold dormant soil rots the tuber. Provide sharp drainage; lift and store in very wet climates.
Stem flop
The tall pseudostem can lean or topple in exposed sites. Plant in a sheltered, wind-protected spot in deep soil.
Leaf scorch
Too much hot sun or dry soil browns the leaflet tips. Maintain dappled shade and even moisture.
Slug damage to new shoots
Emerging spring growth is a slug magnet. Protect young shoots with barriers or pet- and wildlife-safe controls.
