I have it next to an arbor with some green EE's and some cannas. <br /><br />I love to mix tropicals with my regular perennials in my Michigan garden.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605500993437899334.post-57025930498499590662010-07-27T21:56:30.885-07:002010-07-27T21:56:30.885-07:00It look very mysterious - to have a black stemed p...It look very mysterious - to have a black stemed plant. Though these alocasias are so common in my region, I have yet to come across a black one.<br />You can also place it in a unholed pot as the water may just sit with the soil. or get a bigger pot or something and place this one right inside there.<br />You can also divide those offsprings as they multiply.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605500993437899334.post-67707092727297454442010-07-27T19:19:58.142-07:002010-07-27T19:19:58.142-07:00I love this plant!

I'll put that right on the to do list — the very long to do list.Barbarahttp://www.beesandchicks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605500993437899334.post-30493849355836141132010-07-27T16:14:28.610-07:002010-07-27T16:14:28.610-07:00I would love to be as you are, at one with plants ...I would love to be as you are, at one with plants and nature - my Mother was a person that knew the name of every tree, plant and flower - it is such a unique gift to some but sadly not to all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605500993437899334.post-39992818559248807652010-07-27T14:54:55.518-07:002010-07-27T14:54:55.518-07:00I grow this in a container on my patio, and love t...I grow this in a container on my patio, and love the tropical look of the large leaves. There are double tuberous begonia and lobelia in the pot with them. They won't last long when the frost comes, but provide wonderfully exotic leaves until then.
