Hi daz ... I just bought the Alocasia Polly last week ... here is the thread. http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000368 It's a houseplant ... even I am going to be testing it this winter and I don't go much below freezing.
W hy thanks honey lol.Ill have a look ducky.This is the one i like dont know who the girl is i got the pic of the net
Wow, that's nice ... I want one ... not the little cutie but the plant. Obviously quite a different variety ... one of the experts here will come along, daz, and tell us more about it ... hopefully ... :rolleyes: Guesstimate, the photo is taken in Florida ... PS Do a couple of "enters" before you start typing after a photo ...
Thanks hun.Ill do just that enters i mean.Yea that plants called Alocasia Macrorrhizos easy tropics have some for �£17.50.i may get one lol lovely arnt thay?
Well, I certainly fancy one so I may have to go back to my Gigs Garden Centre (perhaps tomorrow) where I go the other from and ask. Failing that, our friend who owns a tropical garden centre here is coming for Sunday lunch ... I don't like the sound of the price ... I'll let you know.
Yea thay are expensive arnt thay i thought that lol.are we skint or just tight lol. i know which one i am lol...daz
I've not grown any alocasias apart from that house plant one that you have LOL, but by the looks of things perhaps I should give them a go, next year.
Yes, pete, you have such good luck with the unusual, but hopefully you'd get it a bit cheaper than that �£17.90. I just don't pay a lot for anything, daz, be it plants, houses, clothes, cars, food ... you name it ... that's why I live here ... :D
You can get a rhizome for �£3.50 from the Easy tropicals web site, http://www.easytropicals.com/pp/Aroids/Alocasia_macrorrhizos.html
