I have no advice for the Alocasia but if you have any plant which is doing badly in future please don't cut off the leaves unless they are clearly dead. They aren't 'draining' the plant, they are photosynthesising and hence feeding it.

if I were you I would put this plant outside..sun, rain and a little fertilizer would really help it..

hc..do you still have any of these?..I love the "spotted" one..is it a Mojito?..just guessing never had one..

I still have several of these but lose some from time to time. I always buy another Mojito whenever I lose it and if I can find it.

This is the one I have now - the end of June.

Last October, it was twice the size but had a lot more sun too.

I was keeping its feet wet with a lasagna pan filled with water. You can see the babies have started to fill the pan up where the roots have gone out the drain holes of the garden pot it came in.

I save my elephant ears, caladiums, cannas and curcumas..I've lost a few caladiums..not sure why..most of them were fine..but it happens..if I ever see a Mojito I'll buy it..

You will love Mojito. Caladiums are great too - I store them in the pot on top shelves and don't worry about them until March/April. I only have one Curcuma, one Globba, and a couple of Hedychium and Alpinia too.

I am still amazed how fast Curcuma, Caladium, Globba, and Calla lilies come on.

I like this Curcuma due to its very large leaves.

Globba is another one that comes on very fast. The blooms are kind of cool.

My newest Caladium I picked up this year

Pagoda Flower (not dormant so I must water this in winter)

Another elephant ear (don't remember which one) with a few different Sansevieria plants around it (one is in the same pot)

Chrysothemis is another one that goes dormant (don't water it in winter) and then start a slow watering in spring. Blooming this month - maybe a few sunburned leaves.

hc..I love your tropicals..so beautiful..I have some beauties too!..I'll try to take new pics..your curcuma does have large leaves..your bloom has red and yellow in addition to magenta(?)..mine is pretty much all magenta..I'll put Globba, Pagoda Flower and Chrysothemis in my notes..I left a canna, elephant ears, caladiums, curcumas and begonias in pots over the winter and lost just a few tuberous begonias and a few caladiums..I also kept quite a few elephant ears and caladiums in newspaper in shoeboxes..and then potted up in late May..for this winter I'm considering leaving everything in pots..the hibiscus, rex begonia and black elephant ears I'll keep going through the winter..

marie..did you put your elephant ear outside?..
