soil for Alocasia

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 2000.09.27 at 04:30:18(5465) i think i came up with a solution for the fact that i would be buying lots of different alocasia species and losing them. they seem to like to be overpotted! +More i came upon this realization when i saw Alocasias for sale at stores (like Black Velvet) and they all seemed to be so overpotted. it clicked to me that maybe that's why i lost all my other mail-order plants which arrived in small pots and i neglected to repot them. is anyone growing the following, i'm looking for tubers/plants: reversa, Elaine, narrow micholitziana, zebrina, tigrina, Corazon, cuprea, sanderiana tsuh yang chen, nyc, USA http://www.egroups.com/group/orchidspecies
