Under the right growing conditions it can get BIG ( 5-6' +), and yes, it produces offsets/corms. This plant is commonly available at the Sept. show and sale in Miami, and I`m sure that it also is available from on-line vendors such as 'plantnut', etc. The growers/vendors can be found by surfing the IAS site also. Godd luck! Julius I've been trying to find information on Alocasia zebrina reticulata. I acquired a specimen about a year ago and it has been doing quite well. However, I really don't know anything about this plant. It is growing indoors in a room lit with flourescent lighting, and is now about three feet tall. How tall can I expect this species to get? Does it produce offsets like other Alocasia species? Is is actually a hybrid? If so, of what? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
