Alocasia macrorrhizos, or the Giant Elephant Ear, is a true showstopper and a must-have for any tropical garden. Its enormous, upright leaves can reach up to 1 metre in length, creating bold texture and dramatic contrast while also providing welcome shade for smaller under-storey plants. With its gigantic foliage and thick, rigid stalks, this plant quickly becomes a centrepiece in the landscape. In cooler climates, plants may die back during colder periods. Simply cut them off at the base with sharp secateurs and they will reshoot vigorously when spring arrives. For best results, feed with an organic fertiliser to promote strong growth and lush foliage.
Soil: Plant in rich, free-draining soil and water regularly during the warmer months.
Conditions: Thrives in partial shade, with protection from strong winds and harsh sun.
Size: Height 1.5-2.5m x width 1.5-2.5m
