Colocasia Dragon heart ID check
Colocasia Dragon heart ID check
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?
Re: Colocasia Dragon heart ID check
Unfortunately I don't think it is as basically dragon heart is a huge version of black magic, which is black.
Sorry.
Sorry.

Thank you, been doing some reading and I think it may be Xanthosoma saggitifolia. (The only green one they stocked.....)

Re: Colocasia Dragon heart ID check
I would have said Xanth sagg.... yesterday, but couldn't remember how to spell it They are not particularly hardy so you will need to bring in well before the frosts. Xanthosoma violaceum is more cold tolerant, but still not frost hardy.Rabbie wrote:Thank you, been doing some reading and I think it may be Xanthosoma saggitifolia.
