... is the new release from Dr. cho. only been out a week or 2 and very hard to find, at least it was for me. picked up a few of them at a good price. Colocasia "white lava" semi gloss leaf with white veins like "nancys revenge". white vein starts to show on semi mature leaves Purple ...

Reputedly not the easiest Colocasia to grow, but undoubtedly can be the biggest. They do seem to need a modicum of warmth, so has been in my Lunar Module/Tropical Island, away from out sub standard temperatures. Today, for at least one ...

Anyone seen these before? Am i right in thinking this is your standard eddoe with pretty packaging and a hefty price tag?

Last year I left many Colocasia planted out mulched heavily, with some covered with bell cloches or propagator lids. They were very late to show any movement due to winter continuing right up to the start of April. Then with some warmer ...

Hi All, As i'm quickly running out of window sill space (and the better halfs patience is also running low) i just wondered what the minimum growing temp for for colocasias may be. I'm talking the type you may get from a supermarket and "Black magic" . Ideally id like to move to the greenh...

It has been a bit touch and go over this extended cold winter, but with the heat mat, and a 30w grow light supplementing daylight, the Thai Giant is starting to grow well.

Anyone else still have them, and how are they doing now?

Hello,
I wanted to post a couple of photos of my Colocasia Gigantea (Thailand Giant) from last fall. I live in Chicago USA and grew the plant from a 4 inch pot. The largest leaf measured 4.5 x 6.5 feet.

Hello,

I got a young Colocasia 'Purple Guppy'. This is my first Colocasia.
What is the minimum temperature for Colocasia?

I'll log the progress here, hoping I'll find some pink stemmed, rex leaved beauty hidden in this stock :shock: If not i'll be happy to see how big the standard Eddoes get as a trial run before investing in the specialist nursery stock. Few breaths into zip bags and put on top of my boiler, will it t...

Hello,
I am looking Colocasia 'Black Magic' and another with black foliage. Can you tell me where I could find?
Thanks

So, this Colocasia Black Beauty appears to have entered dormancy over the winter. Recently I have kept it at room temperature, above a radiator, and kept it moist. It has a lot of small leaves shooting up, but all still seem to ...

Hi All,
im presuming you can grow colocasia from seed but ive rarely seen seeds on offer. Does anyone know where you can get UK hardy seeds from? I'm looking for the big ones so any advise is appreciated (Chiltern seeds comes up in google but by all accounts thats a small type)

thanks

... be on here a long time ago. Every year I buy eddoes to grow in my garden and at the end of the year they die. Lately I have been trying to buy a colocasia goaligongensis on ebay and have been pipped to the post each time. I was after a coli goaligongensis because they are reported to be some ...

Last year my Colcasia Black Beauty grew next to my pond, but this year I want it partially submerged. I know what sort of air temperature I need to wait for before planing it out, but is there a minimum temperature the water needs to be .... cos obviously this takes quite a lot longer to warmup?

I have been overwintering this Colocasia (Black Beauty you all identified) in an unheated conservatory and it has been doing great. I have kept it damp, other than when the temperature has got cold. I left it in someone else's care whilst ...
