| Ok well, the plants are not the above. Those little tags that they put in the pots can be a little off sometimes I guess.... So, after about 30mins on Google, they are Alocasia "polly"/"African Mask", and my fav is Colocasia Illustris. But I still cant find any info on propagating these beauts.  "Illustris"  "Polly"-"African Mask" | ||

| Here's some general info. The underground structures are rhizomes and it is relatively easy to divide one with a sharp shovel or knife.  | ||

| Thanks for the info peeps! There are some little "shoots" coming off from the main plant right under the soil that have their own little leaf. I think I am going to try and cut one of the smallest ones and try to root it. And if that dont work, looks like I will have to wait untill the frost. Thanks again! | ||
