Post by miketropic »

This is the new release from Dr. cho. only been out a week or 2 and very hard to find, at least it was for me. picked up a few of them at a good price.

Colocasia "white lava"

semi gloss leaf with white veins like "nancys revenge". white vein starts to show on semi mature leaves
Purple eye and purple stem
props by above ground runners
could be a smaller type yet to be seen.

it said "CONG COLIUS 3.88" (£2.52)..my friend and I grabbed 12 of them :lol: . I took 3 home he is putting the rest on ebay icon_thumleft we had another 32C dayand they are holding up to full sun very well. very very fast to put out pups. I am waiting to get a leaf with the full white veins..

I can't say much but I would be on the look out for alot of white vein types soon

I believe these were released in a rush due to there strange behavior. this is a double leaf from a stolen.
