I recieved my Alocasia mac gold this morning and it is gorgeous.. I think i am going to water it with warm water to help keep the soil at a nice temperature with my area in for some shockingly bad weather over the weekend, strong ...

I am really wanting a alocasia ordora, i did try with palm exotics but unfortunately mike isn't happy with how they are growing at the minute so he doesn't want to send it out and he gave me a full refund of what i paid. I am gutted ...

Just been looking for this mystery plant on that video on the colocasia topic and stumbled across this picutre of 2 alocasia's planted in the madagascar river. Truly amazing and also shows it is possibly to use these as a bog plant.

My Alocasia is very loose in the ground i have topped up with compost loads of times now but no change, it has a very noticeable wobble on it even if i brush past a leaf the who stem wobbles, I am thinking this may affect its ...

Hi All I have just bought an Alocasia Macrorrhiza 'Black Stem' off Ebay. It came from Malaysia four days ago but one of the stems is bent over and the leaf is curled up. Is this something that is likely to rectify itself? Could it be that ...

Just come across this variety on the internet and what a stunner with its silvery grey colour on its undersides of the leafs. I love it and it grows to a nice size by the looks of it.

Has anyone grown this or are growing it as i speak?

My frydek is doing really well the first leaf measures 10cm, second leaf 13.5 cms and the third leaf is measuring at 17cm's. it seems that every time it grows a new one it adds and exta 3-4 cms so i am guessing my next leaf will be a round 20-21cm long.

After watching will giles videos i am really smitten by this one and i want one, i have stopped bidding for the one on ebay as the price is getting a bit silly to be honest :lol: currently at £12.01 and p&p to my area is £9.99 and the plant is no higher than 7 inches max. :( Does anyone know any...

My Alocasia macrorrhiza has woken again and this time it seems to be sending roots out of the rhizome from the top right the way down to the bottom is this normal?
I would post a pic but my son has put my camera down the toilet and is no longer working

I have never used growmore before but have brought some with hearing good input about it, i want to give my Alocasia x calidora some but how much and how often.

... i had finished i sat them in to some water whilst i put my tools away my lson then went to get his toy lawn mower and tripped and fell over my Alocasia breaking the top leaf and old leaf from last year, will my Alocasia be ok? i do have another leaf waiting to open on the stem next to it. i ...

I have had this plant for a few years and split it a couple of times. I vaguely recall buying it at one of the DIY sheds in their end of year sale for 50p or suchlike. Anyway i usually forget about this one as its on a north facing bedroom window. Today i thought it about time i watered it and I fou...

Just been thinking comparing my alocasia calidora to Dave B's and noticed that mine has all lower smaller leafs a round the base yet daves doesn't. Does anyone else remove there lower leafs? if so why?

Here is some pics of mine with the lower leafs.

A was given a couple of large(ish) Alocasia plants. I know very little about them, but I appreciate that owing to their size, big leaves etc they are not tolerant of winds. Unfortunately I left them outside for a few days and several of the ...

Looking at my alocasia today and noticed what looks like a pup on the side of my calidora, it has the same base as the base on my main stem. and is different to all the other stem bases that are just plain green.

But can they actually produce pups as i don't know myself?
