Re: alocasia sinuata

From: George Yao gcyao at netasia.net> on 2001.10.27 at 21:05:01(7688) Brian, Are you sure your 7ft plant is A. sinuata? Dr. A. Hay's recent review of Philippine Alocasias described A. sinuata (syn. A. 'Quited Dreams') as a herb to only 35cms. My Quilted Dreams grow to not much more than a foot. To answer Tony's query on origin, in the same review, the note on distribution of A. sinuata says it is endemic to the Philippines.

I have also dug the thing up every year to keep it safe from our zone 6 winters. I have noticed each year a miss a few pup and they have survived our winters. Though I don't think a larger bulb would survive. The smaller tubers lasted threw 3 weeks of weather below 30 degrees. Also had Amorphophallus albus make it threw that same winter.
