I sowed bulbils that were sent to me in fall 2005 in the spring of 2006. They came up when it was consistently warm (70 -80 degree Fahrenheit). They are growing quite vigorously in their second year. No bulbil stem or flower yet, so I cannot relate any experiences yet...

I've had this guy for many years now but never bother with the silly bulbils to be honest.....no need to propagate the weed as far as I'm concerned. I've got them in pots and in the ground.....I've also got a different Remusatia....can not remember which one as I type....

Here is the flower from this past spring:
{{gwi:391518}}
They flower very easily every spring before the leaves emerge....a really easy "elephant ear" to grow, although as I said, I've never bothered to try the bulbils:

I want the bulbils not to propagate the plant, but because I thought it would give me a constant supply of cute little windowsill elephant ears. I love elephant ears, but they get big quickly.

Well, that is an interesting idea.....If I had room I would try some of mine, but alas, no room for that sort of thing!! I'm not even sure if my bulbils get mature by the end of the growing season as I just cut the plant off. I do have one little runt of an EE that showed up in my yard this year so I might dig it up to see if it will grow for me in a tiny pot. Why not send a post to the aroid-l and see what people like Tony or others that do propagate them and likely use the bulbils for that purpose have to say. Best of luck with the quest :o) Dan

Here in Pa. I bring mine in every year. Last year was the first time I have had it and it sent stolons up that just died on me without producing any pups.

This year it has 4 very healthy looking stolons that look as though they will do something.

It seems as though if my growing season was about a month longer, I could leave it outside and it would produce lots of pups.

I checked on mine yesterday as it had blown over along with a bunch of other EE in pots.....so, both the vivipara and the unknown species (I think it is R. pumila as the influorescence looks right as does the leaves.....need to take a pic of the influorescence next spring as it blooms like crazy) have several little tiny babies coming up in the pot....leaves maybe a quarter inch long.....I'm guessing these are from the stolon babies as they are way too small to be from the standard offsets...if that is the case then Araecealover your season is plenty long enough as it is longer than mine. Best of luck with these :o) Dan

Thanks dan, for the info on season length. I think I tend to play it too safe and should 'push the envelope' so to speak.

If I am successful in raising some babies fron the stolon pups this winter, I plan to teave them out longer next year.

Do you leave yours out all winter Dan?

Oh gosh no!!! I dig the ones in the ground and put them in peat for the winter and the ones in pots go in the basement as is for the winter. The ones in pots typically flower long before they have seen water and can be brought out for the summer. This past spring they were done flowering inside in March.....way too early to be outside. The R. pumila on the other hand blooms after the leaves when it is outside for me :o) Dan

Season length may be a problem. Mine sends up dozens of big stolons, but maybe the pups do not mature by Fall.
