I’m new to growing, and purchased a Colocasia Black Magic for my landscape. After moving to the area to be planted in ground, they began to develop brown spots. I’m so bummed. Any suggestions? I’m local, in Beaumont, TX.
@planttodaywithamyraeАй бұрын
Are they brown spots all over on each leaf? If so, that’s most likely rust & you should spray a Copper Fungicide to get rid of it. If it’s just browning/yellowing of some leaves just chop those off & it’ll regrow new ones.
@ktremmyАй бұрын
Mine doesn’t look like any of those. I can tell it’s not hardie because the leaves are shiny. I did get it at Lowe’s & though it was outdoor plant but it is more compact & has 2 different color blooms. Pink & orange/salmon. The leaves are very dark green. I’m bummed because there are no more buds on it & don’t know why? I’m in MA

Sounds like a tropical hibiscus. They go through blooming spurts, fertilize with hibiscus fertilizer following bottle instructions for more blooms!

@planttodaywithamyrae4 ай бұрын
How exciting! All elephant ears can cause GI irritation to humans & animals if eaten. They can also cause a rash & burning if the liquid gets on your skin during pruning. Many people eat the Taro root (and the leaves) but all of it needs to be cooked properly so it’s not poisonous. So in most situations, it’s not considered poisonous to grow it for aesthetic purposes (just take care when pruning).

Excellent. Just what I needed to know about growing outdoor. ❤🎉🎉🎉. I thought I'd lost an alocasia Stingray indoors. It looked dead, so I placed the pot in the garden hidden by ferns. The following spring, while tending to the fern area, I discovered the hidden pot. It had a tiny leaf and sure enough, it was a stingray. I brought the tiny thing indoors and to my surprise another plant surfaces beside it. It's doing really well even though it is now really bushy the leaves are yet to grow larger than my hand. None the less, it's so healthy and , fingers crossed None have died. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

I bought what were supposed to be the “regular” EEs and they all grew as big as what you’re thinking is gigantea. I don’t know if they just like my dirt, but they grew to 4-5 feet tall and huge leaves. My Filipino neighbor got very excited because she recognized them as Taro, which she didn’t know would grow here (I’m in Katy). My taro got as big as my Jack’s giants; to only way you could tell the difference was the Jack’s had much bigger corms. If I had pictures I would send you a few, but I never took them. I’m afraid I’m starting over from scratch this year, because I had asked my handyman to weed the bed- showed him what was not a weed and what was- and for some reason he decided my EEs were all dead and he pulled them up. I was furious because I had showed him exactly what to pull out. He even cut my Jack’s Giant corms in half because he couldn’t get them out easily. I was sad for a week, then started looking at EEs online and planning to start over. You have some beautiful plants. Have you been successful at getting mojito to grow? I’ve tried twice and they were just too tender. I was sad.
