Default Re: Colocasia/Alocasia

Salty, last year when I took in my alocasia x calidora the main central stalk(?) if thats what you'd call it broke off. It laid around for a while then I just stuck it in one of those plastic containers just big enough for a sandwich with a slight bit of seed starting mix and ignored it since I didn't really care if I lost it. It's surviving happilly in the ground out back at the moment. This leads me to believe there would be no trouble overwintering much like a plumeria or a bigdog banana. I'm going to do that with whatever portion of it I keep this year.........let me know if you want a chunk/ corm/ whatever you call them. Pics are in gallery I think.
