Hello Anita, hello All,

My potted Arisaema are moved into my cellar in their pots in autumn. The
compost dries out slowly during winter but protects the dormant tubers from
dessication.
In spring I repot, I only do so in autumn if there is a reason. This way
there have been little losses.
For sowing Arisaema seed right now is a perfect time. They do not need
stratification and would have a full growing period before winter being
summer growing. On the other hand Arisaema seed is long lived if properly
stored.
Another question: When did you plant your disappearing Arisaema, autumn or
spring?

Thank you all for your helpful reply concerning my large form of
Frittillaria imperialis. I think it is most likely a sterile Triploid, I
had not thought of that. I would say there is no embryo in the seed. I
don't do anything to make it set seed, no hand pollination, the seed is
just there. Every capsule gets very big, I always remove some to avoid
stress for the plant.

Bye for today

Uli
