Alocasia macrorrhiza – Giant Taro 🌿🌴
(Tropical Statement Elephant Ear)
Bold, dramatic, and unmistakably tropical, Alocasia macrorrhiza is a true statement plant prized for its enormous, upright elephant-ear leaves and powerful architectural presence. Each leaf emerges in lush, glossy green with strong veining and a commanding scale that instantly transforms spaces into a jungle oasis. Perfect for large interiors, patios, entryways, and shaded outdoor areas, this plant is made to impress.
Thriving in warm, humid climates like FNQ, Alocasia macrorrhiza is a fast grower when given space, moisture, and warmth. It loves rich soil and regular watering and will reward you with rapid leaf production and impressive size, making it ideal for plant lovers who want impact without waiting years.
🪴 Planting tip: Prefers bright filtered light to light shade. Keep soil consistently moist using a rich, free-draining mix, and water more frequently in warmer months. Protect from strong winds and harsh direct sun on young leaves.
🌸 Flowering: May produce a typical aroid spathe and spadix, though flowering is not the main feature.
📏 Mature size: Can reach 2–3 m tall with leaves up to 1.5 m long in ideal conditions; size easily managed in pots.
🧡 Your plants: Strong, well-established Alocasia macrorrhiza in a 300 mm pot, with bold foliage and fresh new growth, ready to become a striking tropical feature.
