Alocasia gone wild
 

Hello everyone,

I bought this little Alocasia plant in a 12 inch container and figured it would hang out outside until winter. Every new leaf it puts on is bigger than the last:shock: and it is now getting huge! I love large leafed plants so I thought I would share this with anyone else that may have a tropical fetish...:blushing:
Does anyone have a clue what variety this may be?:hmm

I hope you have plenty of room!

:shock: It's so big, it looks fake !
Beautiful! and so healthy :mrgreen:
What size pot do you have it in ??
I would think you would have to bring it inside before the frost .. :hmm .. am I right?

Thanks for the compliments:blushing:
I really don't have that much room inside at all!:shock: But it will live inside with the orchids and bananas this winter. Some of the plants will have to go in the GH, but I will run out of room eventually in there too.:blushing:
Currently it is still potted in the 12" cache pot I bought it in. I will repot it into a 14" before I bring it inside to help eliminate bringing slugs inside.
Sigh, I guess I'll just need another greenhouse...:evil:

You could let it dry up and store the tuber over the winter and start it over in the spring, I do it all the time. Jim.

Alocasia Amazonica
 

Here's my Alocasia I believe it's an Amazonica though it is tagless :( (I know it's just another noid .. :roll: )
It's not as huge as yours, Pinky but I keep mine inside ..
I love it's contrasting colors :nod::Tup:

I have the same one Dorothy. It even bloomed for me, I was so happy!!

:shock: I had no idea that it blooms! I thought it was just a foliage plant :o
Very cool :):Tup:
Congrats Tindo .. Nice job :nod:

I'd have no place for it in the orchid room so I'll just enjoy yours...and D's...and Tin's! :banana:
