I have been growing Alocasia x 'Calidora' (or it may be just odora, not exactly sure because of the source) for three years now. I grow it in a large pot and keep it outside in summer and indoors in winter. So far I have not let it go dormant and it has formed a long 'trunk' and seems to be healthy, but I have never gotten any pups/offshoots/bulblets from it. It bloomed this year for the first time and is about 6' tall with 3'x2' leaves. In winter it generally only will have 2-3 leaves at a time and in summer about 4-6 at a time. I would like it to make babies. Should I plant it deeper so the 'trunk' is partially underground? Why won't it produce babies?
