Debra, I'll take a piece of that peach pie and mjs, what a cool flower on that passy.


Dyzzy, you have a very nice looking Alocasia amazonica or polly. Amazonica will have larger leaves and the growth habit bigger vs. polly. I use Osmocote and composted horse manure in my soil media for all of my Alocasias but you can also use Miracle Gro at 1/2 the labeled strength for them. Drew may know of a better fertilizer...

Drew, your regale is still looking good. Is that Alocasia watsoniana I also see? If you keep that plant growing longer than I did (6 months), I'll want to know your secret.

Local grocery store plant,of all places to find such, Alocasia bambino.
