David,
Recently purchased a coastal property-home- on the Central Coast of New
South Wales and with it a large area of Alocasia M. sloping toward the
ocean.
They are exposed to the elements, particularly severe storms from the
ocean, resulting in the leaves being torn to shreds and the supporting
stems broken. I have noticed the summer sun causes them to brown and
wilt. Sadly they will have to be removed. I get the impression from
their ability to propagate this might be difficult.- Roundup?-- What
suggestion might you have?
Good wishes and anticipating your reply David.
