Hi all, It will soon be time to dig out our tropical plants and get them outside for the summer.
Ric and I are in Fl. right now and I have picked up 10 new plants so far and expect to pick up just a few more before we head home.
One of the plants I picked up was a Black Coral Colocasis the fun thing about coming south in the Spring is that you don't really worry too much about what you will do with the plants come fall. But I was wondering if any of you grow the Black Coral Colocasis and if I can just store the bulbs or will I have to try and keep the whole plant going over winter? Here is a pic of a Black Coral that we saw in one of the gardens we viewed. Ours looks pretty much like the smaller one it is a nice size plant in a gal container
