Well I'm overwhelmed by the responses I've gotten and thank you for the welcomes. After 40 of gardening things still happen that stump me. Unfortuantely I no longer have a book that described mineral deficiencies, which would have been a big help I think. This little plant, and it is little only about 5" tall in a 4" pot. I did check the roots and they have not filled the pot yet as I said it seems to be growing slowly as it is. I keep trying to remember to take a pic so y'all can see what it actually looks like: It probbably would explain a few things. Since I'ver grown Alocasia's and colocasias before this is rather unusual even for those strange things that I sometimes grown, like amorph's and stapelia's. So as soon as it's a little bit drier outside and better light (it's only 59 outside today, unusal for this time of year) I'll take a pic and post it for you to see what's happening to my little baby. My Thai Giant is just growing away and I'm very pleased with it's progress.
So, again, thank you one and all for the responces.
Hugs to you all
Kurt
