FAMILY: Araceae
GENUS: Alocasia
SPECIES: portii
It has scalloped shaped leaves that grow kind of upright. This dude can get up to 8 feet tall. They are winter hardy in zone 9. This variety is also supposed to do well in pots.
They prefer light to full shade in evenly moist soil. They also accept boggy conditions.
This one is only showing signs of going dormant and no apparent signs of rotting. The stems are still erect, but the leaves are kind of turning yellow.
