Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia identification

From: "Denis" <denis at skg.com> on 2010.08.30 at 14:47:28(21348) Dear Stefano: Why don't you wait to ask until after you see it mature into a juvenile or Adult plant. This species is out there as a tissue cultured liner from at least one Tissue Culture lab and it is a very fast grower. This picture looks like a liner size plant leaf of C. gigantea. Plant it in a good peat based soil mix with slow release fertilizer in 50% shade and just watch it go.

Now I have a very small plant, but can you identify it? Here are the pictures: http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploads/5325/DSC_3514.JPG http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploads/5325/DSC_3520.JPG http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploads/5325/DSC_3519.JPG Is it really a Colocasia gigantea or it could be a more common Colocasia esculenta? What are the scientific characteristic of a Colocaosia gigantea? Can you help me please?
