Alocasia 'Green Shield'

From: "harrywitmore at witmore.net" <harrywitmore at witmore.net> on 2004.07.20 at 14:34:02(11778) Does anyone have any experience with this Alocasia in a low humidity environment. Can it withstand the conditions of the home in the northern sections of the country during the winter? Thanks, Harry +More -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

From: "Tropicals" <Tropicals at SolutionsAnalysis.net> on 2004.07.20 at 16:23:04(11779) Hello Harry: A similar species Alocasia cuprea did not go dormant last year; we kept it at 60dF or above and it is still putting on new leaves. The humidity was relatively low. Our winters are not particularly humid, compared to summer; we are now in the rainy season. Not the green shield, but quite similar. Hope this helps...Christian Your AlterNative Solutions Team www.SolutionsAnalysis.net +More Direct to Tropical / Desert Nursery http://www.solutionsanalysis.net/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi -----Original Message----- Behalf Of harrywitmore@witmore.net Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 10:34 AM To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: [aroid-l] Alocasia 'Green Shield' Does anyone have any experience with this Alocasia in a low humidity environment.
