My father has an absolutely beautiful alocasia illustris. He got it from me but I didn't even know that I gave it to him. Last spring I had dumped several pots that I thought were goners. Some went into the compost but a few of them were dumped into a can that I save soil in and use sometimes for repotting. Next thing you know this thing is growing out of some pot at my Dad's house. Not only that but I found a nice Black Magic growing out of my compost so I started watering a few pots that were still sitting up stairs in the plant room that I had pretty much given up on and a few more started growing. One of them was a Mojito.
