Alocasia ‘Dark Star’ – Elephant Ear 🌑🌿
(Dramatic Tropical Statement Foliage)
Moody, bold, and seriously striking, Alocasia ‘Dark Star’ is a standout tropical foliage plant loved for its deep green to near-black leaves and strong, upright form. Its large, arrow-shaped leaves sit on sturdy stems, creating a powerful, architectural look that instantly adds drama to any indoor jungle or shaded patio. If you love statement plants with a darker edge, this one delivers.
Thriving in warm, humid climates like FNQ, Alocasia ‘Dark Star’ grows best with consistent moisture, warmth, and bright filtered light. It’s perfect as a feature in pots, under covered outdoor areas, or indoors near bright windows where it can show off its rich colour and bold shape.
🪴 Planting tip: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered shade. Keep soil evenly moist using a rich, free-draining mix and avoid letting it dry out completely. Protect from harsh direct sun and strong winds.
🌸 Flowering: May produce an aroid spathe and spadix occasionally, though foliage is the main feature.
📏 Mature size: Typically 60–120 cm tall depending on conditions and pot size.
🧡 Your plants: Healthy, well-established Alocasia ‘Dark Star’ in 300mm pots with dark, dramatic foliage and fresh new growth, ready to become a standout feature plant. Roughly 1.6m tall currently. WELL established.
