About this product
Elephant Ear (Alocasia) – Alocasia mix (mixed cultivars)
A tropical foliage plant grown for its distinctive leaves and strong indoor presence. The foliage is the main feature, and it pairs well with other tropical houseplants for a layered look.
Keep the compost lightly moist during active growth, but avoid waterlogging—good drainage is key. Growth can slow in winter; watering usually needs to reduce during cooler, darker months.
A versatile houseplant that works well on its own or mixed into a larger plant display.
Rewards consistency and attention with healthier, more attractive growth. A relatively slow grower that stays tidy over time. Not considered pet-safe, so best kept out of reach of pets.
