Managed to rot the Blue Hawaii’s that I dug up and put in the greenhouse, but got some of the runners popping back up in my border. They must be more hardy than they are given credit for.
A lot of colocasia are tougher than you think. Quite often the runners/pups will survive when the main bulb rots out. Good to hear you have some coming back 👍
I'm in the uk and I would say most alocasia will take full sun here. In Spain may be a different story, maybe the darker leaf ones might be worth a try. Regal shield or wentii 🤔
I put a canna and colocasia in the pond, I didn’t change the pot to one designed for aquatic plants or change the compost from what I normally use, both seem to have less growth compared to those in the ground, do you find the same?
Some nice plants
Thanks Jim. I'll try those.😀

Colocasia I would say most enjoy full sun as long as there feet are wet 👍

No I find the opposite, maybe they need a couple of week's for the roots to adjust to being submerged 🤔
