| That's a lot of plants; I hope you have plenty of room for them! Alocasia x calidora will get 7 feet tall but the cool winter will slow them down, so my best guess is it will be in the summer of 2006 that you experience a 7 foot tall Alocasia x calidora if you treat them right. The Borneo Giant is even faster growing, but the cool winter will really slow it down. I started with a plant less than two feet tall last year and it got almost 8 feet tall in the Florida summer. This year, I'm starting with a 5 foot tall one in the ground; I expect 12 feet by the end of summer. Remember that your drier air will adversely affect how large the plants can get under your conditions. Tissue culture plantlets can be finicky, so expect some loss, but the varieties you are getting should be quite hardy when compared to plants like A. x amazonica or A. nebula imperialis.

| I bought a liner of the calidora from agristart, mine have been doing great, I haven't lost one yet. I'll be selling them this spring, which really hasn't arrived here yet! One thing, though, the plants only have one leaf when you get them, I didn't expect that... |

| I would like to know what causes alcoasia leaves to be "streaked" with yellow in the veins, even when I use a 10-10-10 fertilizer? is the fertilizer? too much iron or not enough? I use the greenrite quick release granular fert. this happens a lot to my plants. I would like to have green leaves! |
