Product description
The leaves of this species are huge: in tropical conditions up to 180 cm! As an indoor plant they will be a little less big, but are still very impressive. This variety 'Thailand Giant' produces the largest leaves of the species and was discovered in 2003 in the tropical rain forests of Kanchanaburi in Thailand. The large leaves evaporate a lot of water and also a lot of nutrients are needed to form them. Therefore, make sure the soil is nutrient-rich and also give the plant extra plant food. In addition, the plant needs water as soon as the soil is almost dry. Especially young plants should not be too wet, while older plants can be given almost unlimited water. Furthermore, choose a sunny to semi-sunny location, spray the leaves with water regularly and do not place the plant near a heater during the winter months. Under these conditions, the plant will grow easily and eventually bloom with creamy-white flowers that smell deliciously sweet. Colocasia gigantea is the previous Scientific name of the species, but is still regularly used. So this is the same species.Sowing directions: Seeds have a short shelf life and can be sown shallow without any preparation in seed and cutting soil. Keep the soil constantly lightly moist and cover with foil or glass. Germination usually after a few weeks at 25-30grC.

Snelle levering en netjes verpakt. Duidelijke zaaibeschrijving. 1/11 Gezaaid en van alle zaden zijn ze allemaal 3 weken later opgekomen. Wel op een hitte mat en 30gr.
Zaden besteld meer dan 10 gekregen waren al aan het ontkiemen maar staan er goed bij nu naar een 8 weekjes ongeveer
Zou met trots de foto willen laten zien
Maar kan niet toevoegen
Zeer zeer tevreden
I received more than 10 seeds and got many seedlings! I hope they’ll grow massive one day!
Super kwaliteit ontkiemingspersentatie is 100%
Je moet wel even geduld hebben en de beschrijving goed door nemen.
Maar dan heb je ook wat, na 4 weken geleden gezaaid te hebben heb ik er ongeveer 60 ontkiemd, gaat zeker nog meer bestellen.
Na 5 maanden te wachten toch 2 van de 10 uitgekomen tot sterke plantjes.
