very interesting facts! BTW, which one has bigger leaves? jacks giant or thailand giant. you gave me one of them i think and its growing big leaves, do you remember which one you gave me?

[@Tropifornia]

I gave you the Jack’s Giant, it grows lots of baby plants to propagate. The Thailand Giant grows bigger leaves, but I have only propagated one plant from it.

@@Tropifornia thank you !!!!

My biggest concern is that it took two weeks when we were exchanging seeds. I don’t think live plants can survive that long in the mail. I did receive a package that took 10 days and 80% of them arrived dead.

I have some Malanga Lila. I’m thinking those are colocasias as the tubers are edible, leaves face down (only compared to my and Eddoe, the petioles are closer to her V), am I correct?

[@Tropifornia]

The malanga does have some of the characteristics of a Colocasia, but they are classified as a Xanthosoma.
