My ALocasia cuprea and ALocasia infernalis are in my terrarium in basically semi-hydro. The terrarium is constructed so that the bomb 2-3 " is filled with molar clay, then a screen over that and a top planting substrate of lots of orchid bark, coco husk, etc. The plants roots systems go all the way through the screen into the clay, which is a water reservoir for a waterfall feature so it is constantly circulating and constantly replenished as it evaporates. They are VERY happy!
