Alocasia Odora- What to do with it???
Comments (2)It will be a large amount of root to deal with, but a reasonable solution. I would pot it into an appropriate sized pot and keep it in your garage over the winter. Provide SOME moisture to keep the roots from desiccating but not enough to promote their rotting. If your soil is clay based I would wash it off before storing and store in a mix of mostly perlite, lots of air with just a little moisture. Al...See MoreDon't buy Ae Ae or alocasia robusta
Comments (98)I bought an Ae Ae in 2008 on e-bay and planted it in a pot immediately. It grew for a while inside, but then died off a little while later. For a long while, I've given up trying to own one again--both the cost and the chance of survival being the set back factors. Lately though, I've been looking at some variegated dwarf Namwah bananas. From some pictures, it seems Ae Ae has more distinct contrast of the variegation than the dwarf Namwah. I'm ok with that if it will survive better. I heard that the dwarf Namwah is a kind of ice cream banana and ice cream bananas are said to be rather cold hardy. Does this mean that the variegated dwarf Namwah is too? I'm not sure. Would appreciate any feedback if you own a variegated dwarf Namwah....See MoreI have possibly never been more irritated...
Comments (28)Hi I was hoping that you had some way to communicate BEFORE you hired a service. Seems that misunderstandings are the norm not the exception. Sure been true in my case. I had one who was perfect but only did lawns because he was unemployed Wouldn't you know he'd find a job ?? Damned economy lol My lawn is too small to get bids and the present co does it because they do a half dozen neighbors. Since the lead man is the only one who speaks english and is usually not there doing the actual work double problem. I just let them do the front lawn edging and cleanup. Never go into the backyard and I put whacker guards on the trees. When I tried to communicate not mowing so close to the shrubs the next time they left a 6 foot edge of grass lol I'm in need of help with trimming and shudder what that will bring lol Funny story , I hired a co to remove a very overgrown travelers palm including digging out the roots and filling the hole. They ran over a couple of beds getting the bobcat to the area kind of expected as it was so tight. I watched over them like a hawk the entire time and though they did damage the shadehouse a bit .good job The house was still standing and no body was injured. When he came to collect the money he informed me that the orange tree had serious disease problems . Went out to look and the "disease " was 40 orchids attached to the limbs lol had a hard time convincing him that it was okay lol Thank the lord he didn't "prune" it lol. Now for advice on a REAL problem .How do you communicate with Contractors lol. Is there one that actually works on time,on budget and does anything remotely like you want?? If so how do you pick him out of the crowd?? lol gary...See Morehave: named hosta, ee & ferns for same.
