Colocasia esculenta 'Pharaohs Mask'® (2 plante/ghiveci)

Colocasia esculenta 'Pharaohs Mask'® is an impressive variety of Colocasia, belonging to the Araceae family. The plant stands out both for its stunning appearance and size, with mature specimens reaching heights over 1.5 m, and leaf lengths up to 60 cm.

The leaves are large and heart-shaped, and as they begin to mature, the veins become thick and black, creating an incredible visual contrast.

The juvenile leaf form (the form in which plants are usually sold) is more muted, with leaves shaded between green and black, but you won’t have to wait long — Colocasia grows very quickly.

Differences between Colocasia and Alocasia. Alocasia leaves grow upwards, while Colocasia leaves point downwards toward the ground. Unlike Alocasia, Colocasia requires much more water (it even tolerates soil with high water retention), being considered by many growers as a "water plant" and can grow in direct sunlight.

Height including pot: approx. 30 cm
Pot diameter: 13 cm

Colocasia is a plant sensitive to transport (especially temperature changes). Therefore, you may receive these plants with some leaf damage or without leaves, but this does not affect the plant’s viability. Under optimal care, new leaves will grow from the rhizomes.
