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.
種は2週間ほどで発芽して
苗はビニールポットに植え替えました

The seedlings grew well in pots,
苗はポットでよく育ち・・

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

そして今日、家内が以前つくった日陰の斜面の庭の横に4つを植え付けました
Young plants in 8 inch pots. 7号鉢のアロカシア |
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
