Colocasia esculenta Royal Hawaiian® 'Aloha' (2 φυτά/γλάστρα)

Colocasia esculenta Royal Hawaiian® 'Aloha' is an impressive cultivar of Colocasia, belonging to the Araceae family. The plant impresses both with its stunning appearance and size, with mature specimens reaching heights of over 1.5 m, and leaf lengths up to 60 cm.

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

Differences between Colocasia and Alocasia. Alocasia leaves grow upwards, while Colocasia leaves point downward towards 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 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 develop from the rhizomes.
