Hi,.
exactly I have tried this year also the same, probably of the same ilk (I suspect that it is a 'Calidora', but without warranty...). Have sown at approximately 16 to 18 ° C they, what is actually too cold for Alocasia. Nevertheless, the first activity was visible after just over a week, it should go so really quickly at higher temperatures.
I have both seeds taken from dry, as well as of fresh wet berries. The dry grains have become mushy within a few days, I'm so assuming that the seed is hardly suitable for storage.

By the way, if it really is our copies the 'Calidora', the seedlings will be extremely different, both size and vigor, as well as the sheet form are concerned. The correct name for the seedlings would then Alocasia (odora x gageana) x self.

You can do that, however, the plant needs some time to recover. Get the most beautiful and largest specimens only in bright winter. I have to work the lucky at a nursery, my big wintered in a temperature-controlled greenhouse and stands in the summer outdoors in a sheltered place. Now it is but too big, approx. 1.50 m master plus 2 m leaves, next winter, I must cut all leaves. As long as the roots remain intact her hopefully not much matter which would be a pity if the foliage is not so gigantic.

Thank you! No, that most of my plants are working, got there a little space available.
If you cut the trunk now, you should bepudern the cutting surface with charcoal or cinnamon maybe as a precaution and then in Earth plants, if good growth conditions prevail (also in Parma it will be now relatively cool...). I'd wait until spring, then you're on the safe side. On the other hand, it would be but maybe also a good test to see how robust is this plant...
