r/Colocasia

Got these lovely bulbs with a green and white leaf on the label. They are nothing like what was pictured. I absolutely love them, but what in the world are they?!?

IKEA had it tagged as an elephant ear alocasia but nobody I’ve asked thinks it’s a alocasia. Thanks for your help!

Bebiendo y tomando la lluvia, caen las gotas sobre ellas y su rico aroma a tierra húmeda!

I’ve taken babies out by the roots but these stems are growing and I have no idea what to do lol
Any advice appreciated! Thank you

I am so excited to see what it smells like!

Colocasia esculenta 'mojito'

Look at her! Living in my quarantine (prop) box, 12h under grow light, heat mat, watering with 250μS EC and 5.5 PH, she lost a third leaf sadly and I'm not 100% sure why – could it be to due to condensation causing water to drip on the unfurling leaf or to much standing air?

Any tips? The plan is to move her to a selfwatering pot, in mineral substrate. And does she need winter dormancy if cultivated indoors?

¡Van creciendo súper bien!!

I've had this redemption for a bit over a year. It blows out leaves and new plants all of the time, even when it's indoors-so much that I repotted one.

Initially I planted the it outdoors when I first got it (June last year, in MA) in direct sun... It probably didn't have enough time to acclimate by the time I brought it indoors in the fall, but it really only popped out 2 leaves... Over winter (south-facing window and a growlight nearby) it started shooting out new leaves and runners.

Late spring I repotted a single one, and it lives outside receiving full sun (morning, noon, evening), and is watered with pond water... It has slowly bumped out new leaves, but nothing compared to the nearby black coral.

Really my question is: when do these guys start to develop the pink veining? It had a start last year when I received it, and the new green leaves have it, but it looses it once it turns black

Hello

Just wanted to show our colocasia collection!!!

This Redemption at work has reached next level leaves. It looks so much better then the one I planted at home 😭

My local nursery was selling Colocasia esculenta 'Hawaiian Punch' from EZ Pond last week and I noticed one that looked quite different from the rest.

I'm hoping someone with more experience can help identify if this is a known variety and was mislabeled or if it may be a mutation since I have not had luck narrowing it down.

Photos 1-5 are the existing leaves of the plant I bought Photo 6 shows one or two other plants with similar variegation Photo 7 is another shot of the grouping of plants together

The 10+ plants being sold as Hawaiian Punch all had the red stems, veins, and leaf edges as that variety. One or two others in the group also demonstrated this variegation, but to a smaller degree. None of the other leaves contained the pink color of the plant I purchased.
