Re: Alocasia

From: SelbyHort at aol.com on 2000.05.02 at 21:58:19(4514) This is response to Denis Rotoante's message about the mystery Alocasia shown by Geoff. I think we must now know what this is. We have one of these Alocasia Sarian plants from Denis and it is now growing in a seven gallon pot and is about 4-5 feet tall, a magnificent thing. The leaves are very thick, almost succulent, and matte on the upper surface, not velvety or glossy. Petioles are patterned, somewhat spreading, with blades erect. Does anyone have any information about the source of this plant? I would guess it is a hybrid, but what (who) is the source and does anyone know about the parents of this hybrid?

Very upright, prefers bright filtered light, 40% shade. >>
