Daft question I know
but how much is too much feed for Colocasia Mammoths any ideas.
Discolouration of leaves got me wondering too much or not enough.

Being gross feeders Colocasia like little and often. Too strong can discolour and distort the leaves and burn roots.

I use half strength Miracle-gro once or twice a week in the growing season with maxicrop seaweed once or twice a month.

Cheers dave
i think im a tad over zealous with the feed.

For biggest leaves which is probably your aim, constant low level feed with every watering maybe 1/4 recommended use, it depends on how much heat.

Also check for pests which can discolour leaves

You beat me to it about the feed Harry .Another question Dave which brand of bug spray do you use some turn the leaves bit white

hi dave, what is the NPK on that miracle grow, ive just fed mine with fish blood and bone as a general fertilizer, but i think the miracle grow must be more concentrated.
