David, Recently purchased a coastal property-home- on the Central Coast of New South Wales and with it a large area of Alocasia M. sloping toward the ocean. They are exposed to the elements, particularly severe storms from the ocean, resulting in the leaves being torn to shreds and the supporting stems broken. I have noticed the summer sun causes them to brown and wilt. Sadly they will have to be removed. I get the impression from their ability to propagate this might be difficult.- Roundup?-- What suggestion might you have? Good wishes and anticipating your reply David.
