Try a little of nitrogen. My Xanthosoma robustum are able to fight 
for some nitro!!!!! I use to add an ordinary liquid fertilizer (NPK 
10:10:10) in the recommended strench every other week. In alternate weeks 
(i.e., also every 15 days) I use a pure N foliar fertilizer. They will grow 
like weeds!!!!

Very best wishes,

Eduardo.
