Alocasia Macrorrhizos

Alocasia macrorrhizos, better known as Elephant Ear or Giant Taro, is one of the most impressive and sculptural tropical plants you can have in your home or garden. Native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia and Oceania, this plant is recognized by the monumental size of its heart-shaped leaves, which can easily exceed half a meter in length. The effect is dramatic and almost scenic, as if we've brought a piece of exotic jungle into our home.

Whether in large pots indoors or on balconies and protected gardens, Alocasia macrorrhizos instantly brings a jungle feel to everyday life. It's a plant easily paired with decorative projects that seek life, freshness, and a touch of natural drama.

Despite its luxurious appearance, Alocasia macrorrhizos is relatively easy to care for if it has the right conditions: it enjoys abundant indirect light, regular watering, and a humid environment, similar to its natural habitat. Under these conditions, it offers a continuous display of new leaves that slowly unfold, reinforcing the sense of life and movement in the space.
