9 of the best Colocasia for tropical gardens

[@Cornishtruthseeker]

Hi I’ve purchased some plants that you recommended from a previous video from other sources I wasn’t aware that we could buy from you , your video on colocasias was very knowledgeable and I will be putting in an order . I started my tropical garden last year which is doing really well .I really enjoy your channel and find it is one of the best for information and guidance regards steve 😊😊

Craig, you should inform "Black Magic", " Mojito" too. Those are outstanding in the garden.

[@GrowTropicalMK]

Great information thanks for this video. I absolutley love the blue hawaii !

[@jennifergreene8891]

Good morning Craig from the Texas Gulf Coast! What a beautiful collection! Love the Blue Hawaii! Great info, great video. Thank you!

[@GrowParadise]

Thanks! I love hearing where our international viewers are growing their patch of paradise 😀

One of my favourite plants, Colocasia! I've had 11 species last year, but sized down a bit to 5. Only Pink China stays in the ground for now. Aloha was my favourite, but I didn't dare leave it out. The pups were to close to the mother, no bulb themselves so they didn't make it after separating them. Mother bulb was one the ones I tried drying, which I will never do again. All of them died, what I kept in pots got through winter just fine

[@GrowParadise]

Yes, keeping them in pots is always one of the most reliable ways to overwinter 👍 Thanks for watching

[@pamelaapgar8184]

My favorite plant! I want the black ones and maui gold! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@wesleyhackney]

These are great and I also have them in my garden. Here in panhandle of Florida I also grow and have success with Mojito & Frog In A Blender variety. Have you tried these they are so cool with various forms of varigation in the leaves

[@GrowParadise]

I’ve grown Mojito before but found it to be a little tricky to overwinter. Thanks for watching 😀

I’m in San Diego, California and majority of these are available here. If any can’t be found locally for people, you can order them, for sure. And thankfully, they are far easier to keep happy than _Alocasia_ lol

[@Us_and_themm]

Heyyyyy i did an order last night, as its getting warmer can i plant the pink china straight out, or is it best to plant in a bigger pot and grow inside?

[@darryl8641]

Hi Craig, I received the 3 pink china plug plants I ordered from you today however I am new to gardening, would you recommend the pink china plugs go straight in the ground or should they be potted? I dint have a greenhouse.

[@GrowParadise]

Hello, yes we’d recommend potting them on before planting out. Here’s our guide to caring for your new plants on arrival: growparadise.co.uk/caring-for-your-new-plants/

[@darryl8641]

@@GrowParadise thank you.

[@gordonissocoollike]

I’m still waiting on mine resprouting this year. In Ayrshire

[@GrowParadise]

It has been a particularly late spring, things should pop up soon though now

[@robertoughton9037]

Hi Craig is the iresine red or green for sale?

[@GrowParadise]

We sold out of these recently, I may have more in a couple of weeks 👍🌱

[@rallekralle11]

Leucocasia gigantea would be something as well. even bigger than jack's giant, but less hardy. incredibly fast-growing even from seed

[@GrowParadise]

That’s a great addition, yes they are super fast from seed 😀

[@ceffyr]

What’s the tiny black colocasia between blue Hawaii and Maui gold??

[@GrowParadise]

That’s a smaller ‘Black Coral’ plant that I’m growing on a little more 🌱👍

[@earthtrekker1]

Hi, I know this isn't a Yucca video, but do you have any tips for growing Yucca trees ?

[@GrowParadise]

Hi, most Yucca need full sun and good drainage. Tender species will need protection from cold 👍

[@jamesdewar-mills1105]

I've just come home with burgundy stem.

[@GrowParadise]

That’s another great Colocasia 😀

[@dimitriebleyens2525]

Leucocasia Thai Giant will even grow a lot bigger than Jacks Giant

[@GrowParadise]

Very true! And it’s easy from seed too 😀
