I have a alocasia mayan mask which was growing well all last year in the conservatory. It actually kept growing till around late november, and then stopped growing. The temps never went below 12c in the conservatory. Even though temps have been hitting the 20-30c for a number of weeks now, it only j...

I bought some a few weeks back and used Yorkshire kris's bag method and all 6 have shoots, so I've potted up 5, put 4 in the greenhouse and left 1 indoors, the other has been planted directly into a new border, so lets see what happens.
