Proudly presenting my new colocasia plants brought from Toronto last November. This is the Humber Nurseries selection. It cost me a while but I would never have bought in Kazakhstan. I've have read it's not easy keep these plants inside so I have divided the EE clumps and put some in my fish tank with some additional phytho light. The rest put in my indoor african violets room with both high humidity and temperature. Let me see what would be happened. I'm very optimistic about Colocasia Bikini tini which is hardiest EE. It's a tetraploid hybrid that is very rare for colocasia plants. It grows as high as 6 ft. So I'm looking forward for growing this particular plant in my garden a year around. Here are pics of my new colocasia plants leaf blades. I have one more variety called Lemon Lime but it has it's tuber rot so I keep it separately

Hey, Mike! Good remarks... As for the Black Marble it's labeled under this name and it looks like a sport of the Mojito indeed. It has no a pure black colour but some spots and etc when looking at it closer. Brian is the Man making so many varieties of the EE. I did learn his very informational website.Good for you that you know him personally. BTW 'd like get more varieties from him but a distance and a phyto control... By the way I didn't buy neither the Pink China nor the Illustris. These two varieties have been taken apart from those few ones brought from Canada. It was a true surprise for me... Didn't expect honestly...
Jeese, I do try making more plants from these EE plants. A big Mojito even is blooming now. he seeds are not the matter. It looks like the plants like the environment. Many of them grow in my fishtank. Yes they are water consumers!
