Very nice, I have a few going but they look more like colocasia. Love the arrow head on yours.

Raydio, what do you call the ones growing in the black pot that are sort of black/green? Hubby brought home a pot of them from a customers house and I love them!

That's Colocasia esculenta 'Illustris'.

It needs lots of water, don't let it dry out. It can even grow with the pot sitting in water. It spreads by "runners".
