The plant is just as advertised and just what I expected. It looks good with no dead leaves and does have a strong root.

    research colocasia pre purchasing, don’t give up on them they just need some time and love
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2020*

Came well packaged,  your cuttings will be  going to go into shock when you first get them especially if you’re buying now (it’s winter these are tiny tropical plants) I ordered a black beauty that arrived with one leaf as well as the tropical storm pictured. I think under grow lights even if the original cuttings die off rather quickly the plant will recover, they’re just very small bulbs undergoing a huge state change they’re figuring out if they have to go dormant or not. When receiving them I’d recommend repotting them carefully and let them sit under some LEDs  and mist them occasionally. Both of mine have taken to their new growing mediums and perked up but it’s only the first two days so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
