Alocasia macrorrhiza Upright Plant |
Gigantic Upright Elephant Ear Plants!
Alocasia macrorrhiza - Zone 7 - 11 Cold Hardy! This enormous growing plant is one of the first to hit main stream cultivation in the 70's growing in popularity for it size and easy growing attributes with the upright leaf and bold statement it makes in the landscape. They can reach heights of 10 feet with ease while growing on a trunk like tuber much like the rhizome of x. sagittifolia. The leaves are very dark green that get a quilted appearance as they mature. They kinda fluffy looking and flop in gentle breezes. The one pictured below is only about 3.5 months into the growing season of 2005, received as a pup in late 2004. Sorry that I don't have an updated photo, but plan on showing them this summer's end. They are very cold hardy and can take freezing temps with no die down unless in direct, unprotected positions. While protected, they will remain green, just dormant during steady weather below 40ºF to at least 28ºf. I have read reports of people keeping these inside their homes with adequate light and as always with indoors plants, you must keep the humidity up either by spraying the leave or other means. These are excellent plants for someone that wants a hardy, low maintenance huge leafed plant that grows fast in a short amount of time! These plants available are pups from the mother plant and are faster growing and very stable already.
