Planting & Care
1. Planting: To plant Elephant Ear (Alocasia Odora Macrorrhiza), choose a location with well-drained, rich soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, and place the plant at the same depth it was in its nursery container. Space multiple plants about 3 to 4 feet apart to allow their large leaves ample room to spread. If planting in a container, ensure it has good drainage and use a high-quality potting mix.
2. Sunlight: Elephant Ear plants thrive in full to partial shade. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, they prefer filtered light or shade to prevent leaf scorch and maintain vibrant foliage. In very hot climates, providing afternoon shade can help protect the plant from excessive heat.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Elephant Ear plants enjoy high humidity and regular watering, so water them frequently, especially during hot or dry periods. Ensure the soil remains well-drained to prevent root rot, and consider using a mulch layer to help retain moisture.
4. Pruning: Pruning is minimal for Elephant Ear plants. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Additionally, you can trim back any overly large leaves if they become cumbersome or obstructive. Regular pruning helps promote a tidy look and supports healthy growth.
