Re: Alocasia Mayan Mask - Could be one of my favourites :)
We'll have to see how the winter goes, I have 5 currently to test in different environments. They are all in the conservatory for now, which is heated to +6C and has humidity controlled. I want to try one in the, now heated, Covered area, which will be heated to about 5C but no humidity control, and if I can I'll test another in a frost free area. If the trials go well I may have a couple to sell in the shop in springLeigh wrote:Dave don't suppose you wanna flog me one of yours

I'll make a note that you have asked so you'll be at the top of the list No Guarantees though.
Best regards
Dave

Thanks Leigh, yes everything had just had a watering, the collies aren't usually stood in water like that.
What's the advantage of rotating? When I brought the plants inside they went on the sill with the largest leaves facing the light and now the rest have turned towards it too. Wouldn't rotating make them even more leggy?

Not found that myself, just makes for a more balanced plant, they shouldn't get any more leggy from turning you will just find that the whole stem will just lean back towards the light and the leaf just turn aroundGoggleboxUK wrote:Thanks Leigh, yes everything had just had a watering, the collies aren't usually stood in water like that.

That window looks like it gets enough light so you may find the next set of leaves are shorter anyway
My biggest Alo sit's in my North facing Bay window ( not the best place i know) over winter and the stalks are about 3ft long, i turn them about every 10 days or so and they do about a five foot relean every time their turned

Any chance I could go in at number two dave - especially as I've gone through the rigours of a non broadband dial-up internet connection to post this
I would love to add this fabulous plant to my Alocasia collection

The window faces south so is the best in the house along with 2 bedrooms which are covered in palm seedlings of all kinds.

Dammit, they're looking good....not sure I'll have enough spare pocket money this spring to say dibs
Re: Alocasia Mayan Mask - Could be one of my favourites :)
Wow, you've done well there Dave, separated and everything! I'll have to check to see if mine have pupped but I don't think they have.
