Re: unhappy alocasia
How quick do they grow? Just so I know what to expect. This one was bought and planted in the garden in April. It was tiny back then, only had one tiny leaf. It's in the shade after 2pm

Re: Musa Basjoo in zone 8b
One leaf every 5 days?? Wow. Nah, I'm nowhere near that. I'm starting to worry now. Maybe it's just the beginning? The transplanting shock still. Or perhaps the low humidity. I already have some sort...

What happens if you live in an area where winter minimums can be as low as -5 C but only on few days, while most winter days are much warmer, with some days up to 20 C? Will a basjoo rot if wrapped...
