About Alocasia Hilo Beauty (Upright Elephant Ear)
Alocasia Hilo Beauty (Elephant Ears) is a true work of tropical art. Its expansive, deep green leaves feature captivating splashes of light green and yellow in a camouflage-esque design. Standing at about one foot in length and 10 inches (25 cm) in width, these majestic leaves rise on striking blue-black stems, their contrast becoming more pronounced as the plant matures, adding to the allure of this botanical artwork.
These Alocasia bulbs are cultivated in Costa Rica and are busting with self-contained energy to ensure their robust growth. This versatile plant thrives in various settings, be it planted in beds, borders, or containers, serving as background foliage or an eye-catching centerpiece.
When growing Alocasia indoors, selecting a suitably large container and placing it in indirect sunlight is essential for optimal growth.
