Tomorrow I am thinking of going to purchase a Alocasia macrorrhizos (upright taro). I'd like to know if I could leave it outside my apartment balcony during winter/summer. We're a 7b/8a here depending on who you ask. We normally hit the 20's just a few times during the dead of winter, and occasionally the teens on a really bad night. I could easily move it indoors (as it won't be THAT large).
But I live in an apartment complex (5th) floor and I thought it'd be a nice plant for the outside balcony I have if it could handle the cold. All my other tropicals have to stay inside.
Also, during summer I have west (warm/hot) sun. Would that be an issue for this plant? Can it take a lot of sun or does it like the shade?
Depending on the answers, I may go for a smaller plant I can just keep indoors.
Thanks :)
John
