Hello Aroiders,
A few years ago I got a plant of Xanthosoma
violaceum.
Its leaf blades were about 15 cm (6")
long.
I cultivated this at home in normal conditions and
I was repotting it every spring.
This winter it began to produce more and more small
leaves. One of the tubers lost all of them.
I append a photo. Each leaf is smaller than the
previous one - the newest is 2.5 cm (1") long.
Did it fell into dormancy or is it
dying?
The corms and the roots are healthy, so what can be
the reason?
Here are some photos how it looked
before:
I remember I had the same problem with Alocasia x
amazonica and A. reginae,
in winter it had small leaves, and it
died.
I think it may be caused by too low air
humidity.
Best,
Marek Argent
