Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia pollen drop update

From: "thornton-d1 at sky.com" <thornton-d1 at sky.com> on 2017.01.06 at 20:24:21 Thank you so much for that info. Neither plant seems to have set fruit. The amazonica is producing another flower. Are amazonica always hybrids that can't produce pollen? So I need a species then? How are new varieties produced in mass I wonder for the plant market? They must be pollinated by species and are not self- fertile. I guess Alocasia macrorriza can't pollinate Alocasia amazonica as they are different species.
