Alocasia odora Aroid

An amazingly architectural plant that has large elephant ear shaped leaves. Alocasia odora will tolerate a few degrees of frost and is one of the hardier Aroids. It is usually better to bring them into a heated conservatory or greenhouse for the winter though. They are very similar to A. macrorrhizos growing up to 5feet tall. Grows in full sun or part-shade and water well during the growing seasons.

Available from April '08 as a plant in a 3Litre pot, well rooted and ready to pot into 7.5L pots. Larger plants may also be available.
