Those plants are beautiful. Wish I had one. I do grow the California Elephant Ear.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Very nice. Mine are nothing but stems from the cold weather but will be back strong in the springtime.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Thank you very much!
My ones also lost all leaves last year after temperatures had been -4 degree Celsius. The leaves broke away directly on the ground and I was sure that they are dead but they came back in spring with a lot of suckers.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Nice!! Mine just flowered also. It shot out two little white flowers. I did not even know that they flowered at all. I would also expect that the flowers would be much larger next to the leafs the flower is a dwarf. Do you know if this plant will make seeds? I have had mine over a year and no pups.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Yes I have even written that these seeds should also be easy to germinate. Unfortunatelly I had no seeds before. Maybe this time.

Markus, where did you buy your thailand giant? I have been looking for it all over Europe but can not find it.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Hi Henk,

I´ve imported them from the USA four years ago. In my nursery in Baveria, Germany I have very much Thai Giants and many more rare Colocasia species in differeent sizes. You can check my website frosthartepalmen.de

Where do you come from? 25.-26. May we have open house and are happy to show all intrested people our greenhouses and plants. I´m sure you whould enjoy that.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

I tried to buy one in the US but the sellers won't ship to Europe.
I checked your website but didn't see the thai giant. Vielleicht habe ich mit meiner Nase geschaut.

I live in Holland, a trip to Beieren....maybe on summer holiday :) :0519:

What would the thai giant cost including shipping to Holland?

Thnx, Henk

Dear Henk,

Yes you need a Phytosanitary Certificate from the USA and this you only get when you have a import permit for Colocasia. This you only get when you have a registred nursery in EU with regular controls. This only pays off for both sides when the quantity is rather big. This is also the reason why I ship outside the EU only starting a special order sum because all this is not cheap and takes much time. So I can understand US sellers.

Sorry I really put the Thailand Giant as sold because I have young plants only in a limited number and the adult mother plants are getting very much offshoots in the moment. In the spring I will have them available again.

Whould be so great when you whould come to my place. I have very much rare species available that are not listed on my website.

For prices I will send you a pm because I think it´s the wrong place to list here.

Re: Colocasia "Giant Thailand" is blooming
 

Mine also bloomed as well. I had my in a large pot that I bring in during the winter and put it in the window. Some leaves are kept thoughout until spring when it just starts again :) Love the plant.
