New Purchase - Colocasia Red Eyed Gecko

 

The next plant is the Colocasia Red Eyed Gecko. This elephant ear didn't fare as well as the Alocasias in my order. The roots were in excellent shape, but the plant was wilting with one leaf already dead and one leaf that might survive. 

I purchased this elephant ear for $12.99 plus $5.50 for shipping. It was the smallest by far of the plants at only 5 inches tall, and it was in the worst shape.

I'm not worried about the plant dying, because I've had other plants from Brian's Botanicals that lost all their leaves, but because the roots were strong the plants survived. I expect the Red Eyed Gecko to survive too.
