Re: Iholena expressing fluid
 

Ariods like Colocasia and Alocasia do it when they have a lot of water in the soil. It's not good to get the moisture levels to that point on small plants as if they don't have enough leaves to operate the system in the correct way the roots start to rot.A new plant with a single roller coming could be killed with over watering. My large Alocasias I kept in France dripped all the time but these were big ( 7 to 8 foot ) plants and they thrived on a well drained but well watered cycle. With small aroids I cut back the water to keep the whole pot just moist, it's a balancing act sometimes. Not sure is Musa are the same but I would think so.

p.s. a few pics of a big Alocasia and some pics of my garden just North of Paris France. First two pics are a large purple stemmed Alocasia , next two pics are Sikkimensis , the next two are just garden shots. Not great quality pics , sorry , also I wish I could find a Sikki with that kind of colour again.

Except for my E. Ventricosims all of my indoor plants transpire for several nights after watering. All of my outdoor plants will do that on a still summer evening with little or no breeze. They even do it with 70*f night time lows and single digit relative humidity. I have mine on a drip system that waters several short times in the day and one longer time in early a.m. Maybe that's why I've got leaking plants all over the place.

I like to think mine tastes like a banana daquari.

Steve, is the Sikkimensis always striped like yours? I'm used to the Zebrina which has blotched, very unpredictable red stains on the leaves. Your Sikki almost looks very dramatic indeed!
