I have what I think is a great location for a specimen Alocasia in an all shaded corner of a SW bed. It will be planted in back of a grey boulder and hopefully grow to "bend over" the boulder which is about 2 ft tall. I love the Alo's that have black or deep red stems, but after reading your articles, don't want to buy one from just a big box store OR a specialty shop (the salesfolks don't seem to know much about the growth size/needs of their plants). The specimen will be in front of a white background (a little garden house) and underneath a very large sasanqua that is tree form (about 15 ft. tall). What would you suggest? The largest growth should not be more than about 5 ft tall and the spread can be up to about 6 ft. wide. I have some red/green caladiums that I'd like to plant in front of the boulder. thanks for your help.
