- Intervention effect Low cadmium exposure did not affect arum growth.
- Intervention effect Low zinc exposure did not affect arum growth.
- Association Arum growth decreased as metal concentration in solution increased.
- Association Metal concentrations in arum parts increased with metal concentration in growth media.
- Observation Arum shoots contained 713 mg kg−1 Cd at low solution concentration.
- Observation Arum shoots contained 10,120 mg kg−1 Zn at low solution concentration.
- Observation The arum transfer factor exceeded one for cadmium and zinc.
