Alocasia Plants / Elephant Ear Plants

Alocasias, commonly known as Elephant Ear Plants, are a tropical species prized for their large, showy leaves that resemble the ears of an elephant. These plants thrive in warm, humid conditions, making them well-suited for a large container on a deck or patio or as a landscape specimen in frost-free zones. Alocasias come in various colors and patterns, with some featuring striking veining or marbled foliage. There are tall varieties that are best suited for a garden, and short Jewel Alocasias, that are commonly grown as houseplants. They need consistent watering for best growth.
