I cut all the leaves off except the newest center baby leaf. I already had the new spot ready for them, so they weren't out of the ground very long, then I watered them in good and kept them moist the first week after transplanting. I now have new leaves and they haven't even wilted even in our hot sun. We've gotten several good rains, so that helped too. You can see the beat up leaf on the Alocasia, it was too close to the purple sugar cane and was getting beaten up. I had brugs in the spot I moved it to, but they had to go because their leaves and blooms kept ending up in the swimming pool. The banana was getting shaded by the big Orinoco that I posted a pic of earlier and I put it where I had a different brug that wasn't doing well. Here is the alo mac |
