Alocasia robusta

From: Pugturd at aol.com on 2000.03.27 at 02:55:48(4258) OK someone asked me about this plant today. Alocasia robusta I have heard of it a few times. I finally looked it up and know I don't have it. But from what I read I want one. So does anyone know a source for this or have cuttings or bulbs to spare. Let me know sounds very interesting to grow.

From: Pugturd at aol.com on 2000.11.29 at 06:18:04(5717) I believe it grows in Borneo. I talked to the guy at Malesian tropicals he said he would have some for sale next spring. I have been looking for this plant for a few years. I believe it is the largest Alocasia. I know Dewey has a beautiful picture of one he should share. It is a guy holding a leaf about the size of an elephant LOL. It is also one very unusual greenish blue color. I lost the picture but would like to get it again. If any one does get this plant I would be interested in a bulb later. Also is Dewey still around have not heard form him in a while? Well, I Would love to hear more about the search for this beautiful plant.

From: "Peter Boyce" <peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2004.04.02 at 10:45:11(11350) Dear Folks For some curious reason Malesiana Tropicals website has been showing Alocasia robusta as out of stock. This is not the case and we have plenty of stock of A. robusta available for sale. I have now corrected the glitch on our site. Regards to all +More Peter
