Re: Alocasia Colocasia aroids. Etc.
We have lots of pups on the Thai Giant - and very tough they are - maybe took 6 or 7 from a couple of them, and all survived (left those very close to the mama plant).

Re: Harvest? 32F-34F tonight
If you loose the leaves and they have not fully plumped they will not ripen. IMHO
