Hmm, you apparently did not read my gardners note explaining the difference between Plumbea Nigra and Plumbea Zebrina. The leaves are identical. (Only the stems are different)

Thats ok. The genetics for the stem come from A. Zebrina. It is a small specimen with an elongated leaf blade

Make a list of the ones you want and the ones you have.
We can trade babies or come up with a fair price.
I have ALOT of alocasias in my collection, and still searching. We can't do this here so reply to amorning1@yahoo.com if interested. -Thanks.

P.S I do have babies from the A. Plum you seek.
