Alocasia Robusta

From: Brian Williams pugturd at alltel.net> on 2003.11.21 at 15:34:08(10844) I asked Malesiana Tropicals a few years ago to find Alocasia Robusta and to offer it. I had a picture form Dewey of a man holding a leaf that towered over him. The leaf about 10 to 12 ft tall was monsterous. I contacted them and begged for them to produce the plant. Two years later they had them. Was very glad it all worked out.

Our established nursery stocks of A. robsuta are now beginning to produce seed reliably regularly such that we will very soon be able to offer large quantities of young plants of the Sarawak form (purple-flushed petioles, spathe with the lower part tubular white and the spathe limb violet, spadix smelling of decomposing beef extract) of A. robusta. +More We also have in cultivation the Sabah form (green petioles, spathe limb greenish white, spadix smelling strongly fruity) but are not at the moment able to offer plants for sale as we have yet to get seed from our stock plants.

From: "Enid" enigo at bellsouth.net> on 2005.08.23 at 01:53:12(13300) We finally have a limited amount of Alocasia Robustas available. This is your chance to grow the largest undivided leaf in the world. The leaf alone will top out at approximately 12 ft long x 6 ft wide in ideal conditions. +More The A. robustas we have right now are in 4" pots and are about 8" tall. We do not ship outside the US. http://naturalselections.safeshopper.com/51/726.htm?643 Best regards,Enid Offolter Natural Selections Exoticswww.NSExotics.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
