Well I did look for bugs as plantlady spotted and I didn't find any mealybugs, but I did see some sneaky aphids, which i washed off and checked all the other leaves as well. When I got the plug it had four plants in it and they were in a 4" clump so I put it in my 6" pot to give them room since the roots were already at the bottom anyways. I did give them a shot of Super-thrive ( and I know everyone out there is just rolling their eyes upward and giving out big sighs) but in all honesty it actually does work. I am trying to get a larger pot for the Thai Giant, unfortunately, its difficult to find the large pots (24") with the nice straight sides instead of the sloped ones you normal see like clay pots. With the size and wind, they can fall over, so the pots with straight sides and flat bottoms are much better even for my tree fern and Brugmansias since they also grow tall. Unfortunately I don't have anything to break the wind as it come roaring through my yard since the yard behind me is open with no trees. I only have in front of the garage or in front of the house, and I'd rather no loose the plant. I had given my entire collection of alocasias and colocasias, banana's, treeferns, epiphyliums and other plants to my local boantical gardens and in retrospect, I wish I never did, most died there and I could only fine 5 of what I gave them. At the time, I was ill and didn't know what was going to happen so...I lost many plants so now I want to make sure I keep them :)
I am glad that I found you all and hopefully I can get my kids going again with your help and suggestions.
Good growing to you all
Kurt
