Colocasia Nancy's Revenge problems — and how to fix them
Colocasia Nancy's Revenge (Colocasia esculenta 'Nancy's Revenge') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Late or weak variegation
The creamy center develops with maturity and warmth; young plants and cool, dim conditions show little pattern, so be patient and give bright light and heat.
Browning leaf edges
Dry air or dry soil crisps the foliage; keep it constantly moist and raise humidity.
Scorched pale zones
The white variegated areas burn in intense direct sun; give bright light with shade from harsh midday sun in hot climates.
Corm rot in winter
Cold, soggy soil during dormancy rots the tuber; cut watering and keep dormant corms cool but barely moist.
