Alocasia: elephant ear houseplant with striking large leaves

Alocasia, also known as elephant ear, is a striking houseplant with large decorative leaves. It prefers a bright position without strong midday sun and soil that stays evenly, lightly moist. Alocasia works well in living rooms, offices and other places where its foliage can stand out.

Keep the plant out of reach of pets that tend to chew on leaves.
