Hiya Ang! Welcome to the board!
You are definitely my kinda person, araceae, 'naners... whew!
A word on the Var Kluay Tah Nee (aka Klauy Thani), it is actually a
Musa balbisiana and is a very vigorous grower. If you keep it warm enough, it will come around real fine. You should see it when it decides to grow! On the other hand, the Ae Ae is a shade daintier.
Well, I come from a place where you get
alocasia in the jungle here and more. I do grow
adenium, desert rose and I am into the species rather than the hybrids which are very common here. Plumeria? You can make cuttings by walking down the street!
All the best!
