My Black Beautys

My Black Beauty pot hasn't been cleaned out in about 2 years. After cleaning, I found a ton of corms/ tubers and about 99.9% of them grew. I have a bunch planted already and still some waiting in my prop box. Now I have more ears than I expected to have. I still have another pot the same size (About 24 inches) that needs cleaning out as well but I'll wait another year before I clean out that one, or I'll be swimming in them.

What are these colocasias?

Hi, i just got 4 new plants and All I know about them is that these are colocasias. Can someone tell me what are these?

I’ve had 3 Colocasias for about 2 weeks, I have only repotted the black coral. I never let them dry out and i refrain from cutting off any dying leaves. I thoroughly mist all of them at least 3 times a day and fertilize with every watering. They have all put out at least 1 new leaf. I used potting soil and perlite. Should I repot the 2 currently in nursery pots still? Are the dying leaves old once making room for new life?

I have 10 containers of taro plants. Only one of them is showing this yellowing. The yellowing is progressively spreading to the mature leaves of that plant too.

Sun: 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight everyday .( though half the days are quite cloudy)

Watering: once everyday. I water until the pot start to drain out and collect into the plate underneath which stays always filled with water.

Fertilizing: 20-10-10 water diluted fertilizer every week once.

Ps: I am growing all the taro leaves to eat and not for ornamental purposes

The last photo was from about a month ago. I dug it out of my 29gal tank as it was quickly getting too tall, didn't bother to acclimate it to the lower humidity so it's leaves crumpled up, and it immediately threw out a nice new leaf so I chopped the others off and now it is doing lovely and is much bigger. All in a month lol.
