8 years agoThat's quite a bit of size in just a month and some change.
I have some EEs too, but they are alocosias which may not be quite as fast growing. Do you think bigger containers will result in bigger leaves faster? Here are a few of mine

The stars so far in your spring garden
Comments (42)I too tried to grow Anemone coronaria in my garden in England. They would usually grow and flower well the first year, then disappear altogether. Here they grow during winter, which is rainy, chilly, but not frosty. In the summer, they disappear underground and get baked by the sun. There is no rain here at all between May and September. If you can give them similar conditions in a pot Campanula and Cath, it should work. I only moved to this house in 2008 and didn't even start on the garden until 2009. This will be my fourth summer. Because of the long growing season here, everything looks established very quickly. My plants and my husband in autumn 2008. First little border planted 2009. Same border later the same summer. Things just grow quickly here!!! Those are lovely photos of Orange Smith Jeri. Gorgeous nuances of colour. Daisy...See MoreMy sedum 'Blackjack' is looking green so far
Comments (6)Mine is in its third season, and is currently a dullish gray-green. It will purple-ize soon once the sun intensifies, days lenthen and it warms up. The original plant I go did throw up a bunch of green stems mid-summer of its first year. I cut off the purple ones, rooted them, and the plants they became have remained all purple for 2 full seasons....See MoreThailand Giant questions
Comments (9)Yes you can but remember this plant gets huge and needs a very large pot to reach it's full potential. It does not produce a tuber as esculenta hybrids do but a very thick trunk with enlarged roots. I store mine dry in an open plastic bag and take it out a few times during winter and let it soak in a bucket for a few hours then let it dry off a bit before putting it back. As it gets older I'm hoping to not have to do this. There are a number of places that sell this plant such as Plant Delights and Brian's Botanicals but bought mine and others from Well Spring Gardens on Ebay for $4.99. It came in a 3" deep pot with about three leaves. I didn't mind the smaller size as Colocasias grow very fast. Scott...See MoreWhen will thailand giant seeds pods be ready to harvest?
Comments (18)I didn't breed my thai this year. It was seed grown over winter and wanted more size before I set it back breeding it. I will have more seed next year your welcome to some then if you like.. there was no real point in pollinating the diamond head but I had no other flowers open at the time so I just went for it for somthing to do. I threw a few in some compost the other day. If I give them bottom heat they should spring up in a week or so...See Moretlbean2004
