YourElephants Ear comes in a 30cmNursery Pot.

The Alocasia family brings us many exquisite species and the Macrorrhiza is no exception. Starting off lush and bushy when small, this houseplant will develop a nice strong stem with a crown of large fanning statement leaves as it matures.

A lovely alternative for lush, jungle vibes to the more conventional foliage plants. Give the Elephants Ear a nice brightly lit spot and watch the performance unfold. Pair with a Palm leaf basket if a gorgeous earthy appeal.

Please note: Elephants ears can cause stomach upset when ingested.
