Tropic, I hope you do not have to tackle any croc. anytime soon and I see your jewel's are still thriving as well. Is that not a Philo. Xanadu I see as well in your last picture;-)

Dawn, you are a good mom with plant's and I believe that your plant's will do very well with you. I hope you continue to add your progress as time goes along with some of the newest one's you have added to your collection.

Debra, the last photo I applied is of my Alocasia advincula (known as the batwing Alocasia). In reference to your Alocasia and repotting it: I personally would not this time of year. That being said, I do believe that in one of LariAnn's article's and post's it was stated to keep some of the potted jewel's a little "under-potted" to help with the drainage. Also, as tropic noted above concerning "limestone" is valuable information as well and I intend to add more Limestone in my pot's in the future with some of my plant's as well. Duke look's adorable and precious. Loved that picture of him snoring.

Alocasia cucullata, is a nice "un-demanding and rather easy" plant to have around. This is a "pup" that I bought inside for the Winter month's.
