'Baroque Sword'

Native to Papua New Guinea.

Narrow Leaf Elephant Ear

Alocasia lauterbachiana

One of the most striking Alocasia, this fantastic Alocasia lauterbachiana is very different looking with long, narrow leaves with scalloped margins.

Like ancient Trojan spears, the leaves point smartly skyward. The arrowhead shaped leaves of this Alocasia are quite unique. They sport wavy edges with thick raised veins and contrasting purple undersides. The leaf surface is a glossy green with just a hint of a blue caste.

You are bidding on small bare root plants with vigorous root systems 8-12+ inches tall with * leaves grown in Hawaii.

 

Baroque Sword has beautiful leaves that are dark green on top and purple underneath. The leaves are quite long, slender and lance-shaped, pointing upwards and they are marginally-attached. The stem that holds the leaf attaches at the edge of the leaf.

    A beautiful Alocasia with patterned stalks, Alocasia lauterbachiana can grow quite large, reaching a height of 5 feet tall!.

Upright and showy in form, 'Baroque Sword' is one of the easiest Alocasias to grow.

A wonderful container plant, this thin leafed upright variety, will be a eye catching focal point in any garden.

  This species can grow in zone 8B/9A outdoors, goes down in frost, comes back in spring.

 'Baroque Sword' will make an excellent specimen addition to any rare plant collection.

      Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for discounts.

        We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you.  This can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture.  If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.

COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is not included in this offer.  

        We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.

   This policy is good for all items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.

Payment must be received within 7 days of the auction ending.

Combined Discounts Won Auctions

     For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

         As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Rare Palm Seeds

Fresh Highest Quality

         Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.

  Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
