    I love the pink china but the fontanesii is the hardiest. You have many beautiful plants. I have many alocasia but I keep them in flower pots.

    Thank you again Jim one very good informative video , I had redemption told it would be hardy but it didn’t come through dry storage , I have even lost Pink China , due to cold wet compost it think . I can’t believe you only have 1.5 k followers. I think you really down to earth advice is great .

      @gordonissocoollike Thanks, I really don't do it for anything other than sharing ideas and hopefully help a few people along the way 👍

    looks like the Fontanesii is the best one balancing hardiness with looks, thanks for the video

      @richardfrais_backyard_projects It's best to start with just a couple, and as you get to grips with growing/care you can introduce more 👍 they are fantastic plants
