alocasia
Can anyone help me with identifying what type of alocasia this is? I recieved it last year as an elephant ear, but after some searching I've noticed that some of these can get quite large and I would just like to make sure that I plant it in a location fitting for this plant. Thanks to anyone who can help![IMG][/IMG]

Re: alocasia
Looks like plain green Alocasia macrorhizza, or "upright alocasia".

Re: alocasia
LOL Mudcat I meant no disrespect...only said "plain green" to differentiate it from the other alocasia macrorhizza's and other large growers that look like macros...lutea, black stem, New Guinea Gold, Borneo Giant, Metallica, albo-variagata etc etc. Yours are very nice. You should also try some Xanthosomas and colocasias if you like aroids, and philodendrons and anthuriums. Philos and anthuriums can be more readily kept as houseplants in winter in cooler climes than alocasias and colocasias can. Alocasias will sometimes go dormant in the house due to low light levels, even if they are kept above the requisite 55F. A common misconception is that alocasias like low light levels...false. They like a whole lotta light.

Re: alocasia
Lilith I really did understand I was hoping my humor came through in words. Hard to relay through words. That was my guess but was wondering if it was maybe the borneo or other. I knew someone out there would be able tell the difference. Thanks again.
