Just back from visit to NT Overbecks in Salcombe. Seen fabulous colocasias planted in the ground in walled garden, with dicksonias and cyatheas, just amazing plants. Also in the beds were huge swathes of hedychium Tara (had to buy one!) In other parts of ...

Anybody growing Colocasia Noble Gigante here? A very nice big purple Colocasia with Colocasia gigantea as one parent and a probably purple Colocasia esculenta.

My wife has just presented me with this Colocasia "Jacks Giant" measuring about 12cm across and 14cm height :ahhh!: Jacks Giant.JPG Trouble is i do not know which way is up before planting it icon_scratch My best guess is as orientated ...

This is a colocasia that has looked like this for two years running and seems stable. I'm calling it Frozen Cream. It was one of a mixed batch of rhizomes I bought from Leeds Market.

Up till this year all of my collies have been clump forming, this year I was kindly given a colocasia dark stem hybrid and a gaoligonensis (sp), both of which are runners. Both plants are now producing runners but they are in pots so there is no where for the runners ...

Just wondered if anyone can ID this problem with my Colocasia? It has happened ever since it accidentally dried out (I went away and my trusty waterer forgot it) and has never recovered. Some leaves are worse affected than others - is it spider mite? ...

Just noticed this morning..My Colocasia is about to flower...Is this normal? I can't remember reading about it anywhere, a typical aroid style flower ( take a pic later) not quite open at the moment....I don't think it will die after, not normal for aroids.....or is it???

As a trial we have put all the pots of Colocasia outside in the microclimate walled garden . And I and a friend have taken some plants home as atrial in out garden . I have taken home and ...

Hi All,
looks like B&M is the new place for the odd and rarer.I got these for £5 each

Got this colocasia a few month ago, its been growing well and I like the plant but am starting to question if it is a colocasia dragon heart. Could anyone confirm if it is or put a name to it?

Obtained what I thought was a Xanthosoma violaceum corm last year and as it grew out it was definitely a colocasia. I initially thought it might be dark stem hybrid as the stems had a dark colouration. This avoided becoming one of many casualties last Spring keeping a leaf ...

Dear forum members,
on my holiday at the lovely Lago Magiore I saw this nice Colocasia on Isola Madre.
Could you please help me to identify this plant?
Thank you
Robert
