Hello, I am brand new here and just looking around and getting to know where things are here. What zone are you in? I have Alocasia Sarawakensis and Alocasia Borneo Giant. Both of these are growing nicely here in z8. Borneo Giant is really rated for z9 but I have had one in the ground here for three years at z8 and it has been doing very well. I have several nicely rooted ones at about one foot tall. The same goes for the Sarawakensis.
