Full description and specifications

Colocasia esculenta 'Hawaiian Punch' is an impressive cultivar of Colocasia, which is part of the Araceae family. The plant impresses both with its stunning appearance and size, mature specimens reaching heights of over 1.5 m, with a leaf length of up to 60 cm.

The juvenile form of the leaf (the form in which the plants are usually sold) is more bland, the leaves having a shade between green and black, but you will not have much to wait - Colocasia shows a very high growth rate.

Differences between Colocasia and Alocasia . The leaves of Alocasia are oriented upwards, while the leaves of Colocasia are oriented downwards towards the ground. Unlike Alocasia, Colocasia has a much greater need for water (supports even soil with high water retention), being categorized by many breeders as a "water plant" and can grow in direct sunlight.

Height with pots included: approx. 30 cm
Pot diameter: 12 cm

Colocasia is a plant sensitive to transport (especially temperature changes). Therefore, it is possible to receive these plants with some defects on the leaves or without leaves, but these do not affect the viability of the plant. Under conditions of optimal care, new leaves will develop from the rhizomes.
