Plant Care

• Light:   Prefers a warm position with bright light, morning sun or partial shade. Some direct sunlight can help develop richer foliage colour, provided the plant has adequate moisture. Protect from intense afternoon sun in exposed locations.
• Watering:   Keep the soil consistently moist during active growth. Colocasia enjoys moisture but container plants should not be left in stagnant, poorly drained conditions.
• Soil:   Prefers fertile, rich, moisture-retentive soil with plenty of organic matter.
• Fertiliser:   Feed regularly during spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser to encourage strong foliage growth.
• Flowering: May produce small, typical aroid flowers under suitable conditions, although it is primarily grown for its spectacular foliage.
• Pet Safety:   Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if chewed or ingested. Keep away from pets and children.

Pot Size: Supplied in a 2.5L nursery pot.

Please note:   Each plant is unique, and foliage colour, size and growth habit may vary slightly from the photograph.
