Most of these can be grown easily with just a little bit of effort.

Colocasia Gigantea is a great plant specially if its the larger grower. It is also fairly hardy.

Alocasia Sarian is probably the most sensitive. It grows to about 10 feet or 15 feet tall. very nice but it can rot in the winter. It needs to be in a warmer place than most.

Alocasia Macrorrhiza is really easy and probably the most well known.

Alocasia Lutea I have never been able to get it to a huge size here its slower and I have lost a few to rot in winter. it is the least favorite due to difficulty and being slow.
