Default Re: Help with Alocasia Macrorrhizos "Blck Stem"

Mine grows well under the conditions of other "Taroes" and is hardy here in z8b. Partial Sun(for good colour), water every 3rd day, fertilize with a slow release at manufacturerer's directions. Can't help with the thrips except to recommend a spray with the same stuff as dog flea meds like Advantix, which works on the various critters I get in my Florida greenhouse(well, except for rats and possums;>!).
Cheers,
Pat
