Alocasia 'Black Velvet'

rusty_blackhaw
19 years ago

I have three of these that overwintered reasonably well but did not grow bigger indoors. I'd like to use them in a mixed border.

Is the max expected height of 20 inches what one can expect in pots indoors, or is that what plants will top out at in a sunny border given ample water and fertilizer?
