Poster: SalsaKing (see this users gallery) Have had this a few years and its finally getting pretty big. I got it on ebay with a certificate saying that it truly is Robusta which I guess is the biggest undivided leaved plant in the world.

Dude, I guess you know by now that that is an alocasia Odora maybe macrorrhiza.... but is without a doubt not a robusta. Hope you can finf one or have found onein the past 3 plus years.

Happy Growing,

Drew

Yeah I guess I got swindled on the ebay purchase. I still love the plant and it's probably a good thing it wasn't a Robusta for where it is in my yard. I'll post an updated picture.

It's much taller now, the base trunk part is about 3 feet high. I didnt feed it this year so the leaves aren't as big it seems, I'll get back to my yard again next year. The fern in the back didnt like the 100 degree weather this year.
