Summer heat care: plants dispatch Mon–Thu so they never sit in a hot depot.

Alocasia

Amazonian Elephant Ear

$59.95

I'm the Amazonian Elephant Ear - a plant with more aliases than a spy. African Mask. Alocasia Polly. 'Amazonian' - even though, plot twist, my family has never set root anywhere near the Amazon (or Africa). I was bred in Miami in the 1950s. What can I say? I travel well.

About Amazonian Elephant Ear

I'm the Amazonian Elephant Ear - a plant with more aliases than a spy. African Mask. Alocasia Polly. 'Amazonian' - even though, plot twist, my family has never set root anywhere near the Amazon (or Africa). I was bred in Miami in the 1950s. What can I say? I travel well.

Identity aside, my dark, glossy, mask-shaped leaves are pure sculpture. I like warmth, humidity and a drink when asked nicely - think tropical spa, not swamp.

What you'll get (no surprises):

  • Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 35-42cm tall

I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.

Pets: dramatic to look at, dreadful to chew - keep me out of reach.

Take the guesswork out of my watering with a Moisture Meter, and if you're a fan of my look, the Elephant Ears Trinket Dish completes the theme. I sit beautifully in a Cooper Pot in Grey.
