4 inch Pots in one growing season
I got these from Brian's Botanicals at the beginning of this year and here's what they've done- the growth of "Tropicals" always amazes me:
Beginning of the year: As of today: Alocasia Portadora: And it made 1 pup. Musella: one pup so far. Canna Stutgart: Burns need to find a shadier spot. Alocasia Odora: Numerous offsets! Alocasia Brian Williams: Separated and removed 1 pup- 3 more coming up! Canna Pink Sunburst: Alocasia Borneo Giant: One pup so far. Colocasia Black Magic: Colocasia Diamond Head (on right) I hope they all survive the winter!!!

Re: 4 inch Pots in one growing season
Those small plants definitely pay off- they've all produced one plant the same sizes as the ones I bought. Many of them produced 5+ of plants I can put somewhere else- great return on the investment...
Now to see which ones survive the winter.

Those are amazing!! I've got a whole list of plants I plan to buy this year, and Brian's website is great, and has many of them!

Re: 4 inch Pots in one growing season
No complaints at all with Brian's as far as selection and price goes...

Re: 4 inch Pots in one growing season
Nice pics ...thanks for the motivation.I grow so many aroids like this, I used to keep them on pot, so it's kind of stay small. This year i may try some on the ground. Most likely under the banana plants. I love brian's jungle and living wall.

Re: 4 inch Pots in one growing season
I got my saba from Brian's Botanicals as a small plant in October 2010 and now its my tallest banana plant at almost 9 feet tall from the soil to the tallest leaf. Great prices and nice growth.

Re: 4 inch Pots in one growing season
Those little plants multiply so much I can't ever see buying more than one of any one variety because by the end of the season I usually have 10 anyway.
