On my last Thailand holidays a few years ago, I had brought two small Alocasia tubers (I suspect Alocasia macrorrhiza) with me, which have developed very quickly as active tubers with green tip. The Alocasia already inhabits seven large pots, of which 5 pots had to move into the warm heating cellar without leaves this winter. Unfortunately, they had got light frost and threw off all the leaves. The other two pots are in the conservatory with leaves. I hope that from the 5 pots leaves will sprout from the trunks again.
In addition to the beautiful green leaves of the Alocasia, I also wanted to cultivate different colored species to have some variety.
This winter, thanks to Botanicus, I came across the Farmer Gracy site and ordered three different taros there, which were delivered yesterday.
Colocasia esculenta Black Magic,
Colocasia esculenta Hawaiian Punch and
Colocasia esculenta Aloha
The dormant tubers are completely inactive – I hope they are still alive.
My question now is, how do I get it activated? Do you have experience with the activation of inactive tubers?
Can I warm them in a closed plastic can with some damp kitchen paper to check if something is happening?
Or do I have to water them? The taros are partly swamp plants?

Hello Bernhard,

thank you for your advice. I will be patient and store the three tubers dry in the warm conservatory.

Let's see if they will cheer up there on their own in May.
