A Very Different Aroid Plant for your collection!

     Alocasia princeps - Hardy to Zone 9. - New for 2008! - Zone 9 and up - Called Purple Cloak Plant. This recently introduced plant has almost a bat shaped appearance with pointed end lobes showing glossy green on the upper side and a deep purple underside. They are said to get about 4 ft tall and be very showy! The petioles are a lighter violet color with the texture of sandpaper. This is a very unique plant! They are about 4-6 inches tall right now, but hope to provide a good photo as the grow. I would use a strict watering schedule on these until more is known about their care. To err on the safe side, we will say that they do like fertile, rich in organic matter, well drained soil mixes. I think this will be a plant that becomes a favorite among collectors.
