There must be very few who have had Alocasia and not suffered root rot at some point. You know, the plant looks fine then leaves start to yellow from the oldest, and before you know it you are back to a rhizome :roll: Rotting roots is a symptom ...

I have read the net and I am undecided which is better. I have planted my only small alocaisa in a damp shadier area and it is moving\growing but very slowly. I have planted a couple of colocasia's in the same bed......the mamouth is doing well but the the rest are also slow. As the sun up here is n...

Here is a shot of my Alocasia x calidora in the conservatory. I normally plant it out for summer, but we have had repeated high winds so far this year, which wrecked it last year. I'll stand it outside if, or when, summer arrives.

There seemed to be a lot of interest in this over the winter, with people putting in orders from Amulree. I did the same, and it arrived at the end of May. I put it straight on the heated prop base to give it conditions in it's comfort zone, and within a week it was growing a new leaf. It's now by t...

Just wondered as Alocasia mac seem to come up ?

Cant find them or something near ?

The leaves on my A. mac have turned yellow and a few have drooped, the plant feels solid enough. Could this be caused by overwatering/ not allowing the plant to dry out between watering? It is in my conservatory, gets sun for most of he day and temperatures between 20 and 30 most days. I'm going to ...

... was ok in hot spot with lots of water .I overwinter it in southfacing window in a small pot the roots have grown down into the water tray .This Alocasia seem to love lots water even in the home over winter im just learning

OK today I received my Alocasia robusta that I won on Ebay icon_cheers This plant is one Ive been searching for for all of my adult life, now Ive got one! Its the largest undivided leaf blade of any plant in the world, up to 4 metres ...

Anyone growing this one ? mine has just poked through the surface in the prop.
I think they are supposed to be much smaller than the normal form but it should be interesting, being smaller might make it a good candidate for a conservatory plant.

I've always kept my Alocasia's growing over winter by moving them into the house, but this year I've kept my Portidora too dry and it has gone dormant. I've repotted it into a smaller pot to avoid over watering whilst dormant and at ...

I noticed today that my x calidora is pupping again! It was only last summer that I removed 4! This will probably explain why growth on the main stem stopped whilst my other calidora's I have kept growing over most of the winter. I wonder how many pups I will get this year?

My whole life Ive wanted this plant, searched high and low and near and far...now I see one for sale on Ebay for $15...can this be true??? I dont know why Im suspect about this but Ive just got this niggling doubt about the genuineness of this one. The seller doesnt show a pic of the parent plant an...

Popped into "The Range" this morning and found this alocasia marked down to £2.99. Would be grateful for an ID , it says Alocasia Polly on the label. DSC01812 (Copy).JPG DSC01814 (Copy).JPG Also picked up a philodendron for the same price and ...
