The giant upright elephant ear or Alocasia odora is a weakly cold-tolerant plant. It is characterised by its large, elephant-eared leaves. Every winter the leaves wither and die from the cold, but last week's strong cold spell caused them to shrivel up and die all at once.
クワズイモは耐寒性の弱い植物です. 像の耳のような大きな葉が特徴です. 毎年冬には葉は寒さで枯れていきますが、先週の強い寒波のために、一気に葉が萎れて枯れていっています.
Leaf stalks are softening and twisting and leaves are becoming discoloured.
But again, we expect the base of the plant to remain intact and sprout in spring.
葉柄は柔らかくなってねじ曲がり、葉は変色してきています.
でも今回も植物の基部は枯れずに残って、春には芽吹いてくれるものと期待しています.
