Haven't gotten any crypts to flower yet, going to repot some with a better substrate when I get some free time.
My Colocasia was growing in potting soil with water to the top of the soil (unless I forgot to keep it topped up) in pretty strong sun for the species (from what I've read) - almost full sun. The flower was about 9.5 inches from the base of the green... thing (haha, that's the official term I'm sure  ) to the tip. Leaves were around 18 inches. Going to try to get it outside earlier this year and try a bit of fertilizer to try and flower it before frost next summer. |

Z. aethiopica 'Green Goddess'
These are just coming into bloom for me out in the gh. I love the color! This is a mid-size plant at the moment...though I am told it can get rather large (48"+)

You are so lucky. I lost mine this summer. Failure to thrive.

This one in particular seems to want it very wet and cool...it sort of just stood still all summer, but as soon as my night temps were reliably below 55F she shot up.

Awesome idea Tindomul. I have been obsessed with Aroids for a few years now. Arisaemas are one of my personal faves, and I have a numberr of different species in my garden outside. My favourite indoor aroid is Alocasia amazonica. Gorgeous foliage on it.
