We found a huge Alocasia odora (giant upright elephant ear) with red fruits
on a seed pod in a wood
when we took a walk in our neighbourhood in October 2015.
I took the fruits and brought them back.
I searched how to sow the seeds, and I sew them into modules.
The module tray was placed at the window and heated by an electric foot warmer.

The seeds germinated in a couple of weeks,
and the seedlings were transplanted into plastic pots.

At the end of March, I transplanted the seedlings into larger terracotta pots,
and placed them outside.
3月の終わりに苗は素焼きの鉢に植え替えて、外に出しました

I wish they'll grow over 5 feet.
1.5メートルを超えて大きく育ってくれればと思っています
