I was lookin thru all the pics and was just thinkin...
Bubbles...ya been holdin out on us!
Then I saw the date... Rolling my eyes.

Sad you've lost so many of those gems, several of those are pretty rare... Crying

I'm thinking that a nice something that could benefit several people around here would be an indepth guide on storing EE over the winter, there's lots if ways that work, several that don't!
Please, PLEASE do not dig your elephant ears and store them in buckets if water, that's the worst one going around that I hear, it can work but it doesn't work well! Sorry, rambling.

Generally speaking, a large robust growing type alocasia can simply be stored in a shelf dry, that way you can keep a real good eye on it, if it's shriveling fast, mist it good, get it in dry peat, cover it and mist the top of the peat occasionally, and pop the tuber out atleast once a month to examine it.
Left in pot has the best realists for me, but who has the room for all that, only a choice few get that treatment around here!
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
