Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Black Stem' 10" pot

The Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Black Stem' is a striking tropical elephant ear plant featuring massive, glossy emerald-green, arrowhead-shaped leaves held upright on dramatic, shiny ebony-colored or purple-black stems.

It grows fast to a height of 5 to 8 feet outdoors, making it a popular specimen container or landscape plant.

Light: Bright, indirect light. It tolerates some morning sun, but harsh afternoon rays will burn the leaves.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but let the top inch dry out between waterings. Avoid letting it sit in soggy soil to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60% to 80%).

Temperature: Prefers warm spaces between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from frost and freezing temperatures.

Soil: Rich, loose, and well-drained potting mix
