ALocasia question

Post by canadianplant » Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:20 am

I bought some alocasia bulbs about a week ago, and left em in the plastoic bag:S. Their still right solid, but lots of th eoutside paper feels moise, almost like the ends of a corn cob.

Also.... I cant tell what end is up. Theres a point on one end, and it LOOKS like it maybe a small leaf growing or a root. And the other round end, has about 100 small bumps, which im assuming are roots... help please LOL

Unless I'm highly misinformed, photo 2 is the bottom, and photo 1 is the top. The small round scars on photo 2 are the spots where old roots were removed.
