Alocasia hypnosa

Dear Tony,

Thanks for the info and link. My small tuber was planted in a med pot, then moved to a gall pot and now looks like it needs up potting again.

I was hoping its deciduous habit would indicate better hardiness (except it comes from the most tropical parts of Yunnan, alas).

It is growing a bit oddly. I am hoping it will grow fairly weel during our warm wet summer (as opposed to the more typical drought).

Best Jim

Alocasia hypnosa was very marginal here in Z7b in a mild winter, so I'd consider it at best a Zone 8a/8b plant.
