Re: A. wentii, and pothos blooms

From: toeric toeric at ev1.net> on 2000.04.17 at 23:38:29(4389) Wow, wish I could see that! You must be right, but I do have one that has leaves about two foot. I have never been able to figure out how to get them to grow bigger. Since I use them for filler and to add a tropical look to my porch they are in shade so there leaves stay the same size or each one is smaller than the last. They must like a good bit of light maybe even some direct sun? So anyone know any thing about my other question on Alocasia wentii? What size will it get and what growing conditions does it like. Thanks y'all.
