Whoops, that should have said "OT", not "OU"!

Cool plant. It looks like something that would show up in an optical illusion. I don't know anything about Alocasia, but I'm cheering you on!

They'll often go dormant over the winter in colder climates.

I find these do best in a free-draining soil - bark, pumice, perlite, and other grit.
This allows for frequent irrigation, and ample oxygen in the soil at all times.

I'm no help either...but its a very pretty plant Kelly...Good luck! I love the yellow outline around the edges.

It looks etiolated. My guess would be not enough light and maybe an overly water retentive soil. When I had an Alocasia I used a soil like Josh described, and I kept it in front of a south window where it got some direct sun during the winter. The only time it did poorly is when I put it outside in the sun during summer. Some leaves burned, but it survived just fine.

Supposedly they can be cut back and will resprout, and the cuttings can be rooted, but I've never done it.

Beautiful leaves but I would also guess etiolated. Has it been in that corner spot of your office this whole time?

Thanks for the help!

Paul, had to think about that...come to think of it I probably moved it shortly before that last picture because it was getting so big. It had been about 6 feet from a west facing window.

So, suggestion? Change the mix, move closer to light? Do I try cutting the stalk and rooting parts of it (notice it is MUCH taller than the 1st photo)?

Thanks again for the help!
