Hrm...
This wasn't meant to be a post... I was attempting to respond to the " lost EE thread", but somehow it turned into its own post... O well got my wish...
I posted several pics of my ears, but once that thread got moved it died...makes no sense to me!
Not a comment in a week...
Anyways... Tiger stripe looks like fun!
Never seen that one anywhere...
Wanna trade, I have about 20 types that are tradeable...
My ears are really rocking now that the temps are more to both our liking 90 by day 70 by night...
Last week I wished for this weather...now friends are all mad cuz it came true...wimps!
I just everything real hard with 11-55-11, lots of stuff noticeably jumped overnight, in 24 hours it wil be astounding!
Used 2 pounds if water soluble...kook aide mix as I call it.
I've got mine used to the heavy feeding now, I just sprinkle it on the ground before a rain, and water it in pretty good, saves my back alot of water hauling, and bending to scoop and pour!
It's probably not a smart move for inexperienced gardeners, and can easily ruin a whole garden that way!
Saves on weedin too, practically nothing around can handle the dose they get, including grass and weeds, they just burn right up.
I swear I think if I could afford it, I could use 5 pounds of 11-55-11 a week on em, I haven't burned one in years, just inch the dose up each watering!
As for the Hilo beauty... The inside scoop I've gotten is that the lack of flower has caused confusion...but it seems to accepted by the serious aroiders as a caladium...
I agree, by traditional standards, it can't be any of the big 2, alocasia, colocasia and more closely fits as a xanthosoma... But I believe it be a caladium myself as well!
The main way I can tell... I love EE, don't care for caldiums...
Don't care for Hilo beauty... Must be a caladium...
Here's some current pics of mine... There's about 30 more in the list thread...o well
