Elephant ear plants, or Colocasia, are tropical plants grown from tubers or from rooted plants. Elephant ears have very large heart-shaped leaves borne on 2-3 foot petiole or leaf stalks. Colors of the foliage may be anywhere from purplish black, green or green/white variegated.

These impressive ornamental specimens grow outside in sheltered location in USDA zones 8-11. Colocasia is a swamp plant that develops a hardy root system under the water. For this reason, elephant ears make great landscape plants in, around, or near water features in the garden. In the chillier northern areas, elephant ear is treated as an annual wherein the bulbs or tubers of the plant are dug up and stored through the winter and then replanted in the spring.

The plant itself reaches heights of between 3 and 5 feet tall and for this reason is usually grown as an outdoor specimen; however, it is possible to grow elephant ears indoors.

How to Grow Elephant Ears Indoors

When growing Colocasia inside, be sure to choose a fairly large container to pot the plant in. Colocasia can attain a good size, so you will want to be prepared.

Choose a site to situate the indoor elephant ear plant that is in indirect sunlight. Colocasia can tolerate direct sun, but it will tend to sunburn although it may acclimate after a time; it will really do much better in indirect sun.

Growing Colocasia inside requires high humidity. Use a humidifier in the room where you plan on growingColocasia inside. Also, elephant ear houseplants should be elevated slightly with a layer of rocks or pebbles between the pot and the saucer. This will increase the level of humidity surrounding the indoor elephant ear plant while preventing the roots from coming into contact with the water, which may cause root rot.

Soil choice for growing Colocasia inside is a well-draining,peat-rich medium.

Temperatures for your elephant ear houseplants should be between 65-75 F. (18-24 C.).

Houseplant Care of Colocasia

A fertilization regime every two weeks with a 50 percent diluted 20-10-10 food is an integral part of houseplant care of Colocasia. You may discontinue the fertilization during the winter months to allow the Colocasia to rest. Also, cut back on watering during this time and allow the soil to dry out slightly.

Pots with tubers may be stored in the basement or garage with temps between 45-55 F. (7-13 C.) until the spring growing season and once temperatures have warmed. At that time, propagation via tuber root division may occur.

Flowering of the indoor elephant plant is rare, although when grown outdoors, the plant may bear a small green sheathed yellow-green cone of flowers.

  • ‘Black Magic’ a 3-5 foot specimen with dark burgundy-black leaves.

GOOD
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
The kit includes several useful pieces and helped me replace accessories I already had worn out. I liked that everything came organized and it was easy to find each part. Some pieces feel sturdier than others, but overall it does the job well and it is convenient having everything together in one package.

Buena calidad precio
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
Precio beneficio me parece un paquete bastante completo para hacer los mantenimientos. En cuanto a tamaño calidad y funcionamiento no hay queja (salvo por del atornillador que es como de mentira y se desarmo al tratar de aflojar el tornillo y no es de la medida correcta).

Excellent Long Term Value & Perfect Compatibility with Eufy Omni C20 Robot Vacuum
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
This set is of great quality and value for the money. It fits perfectly with the vacuum and base station and includes extra tools like a small screwdriver if you need to make any repairs. I love how it functions and provides the user with an easy experience with all the maintenance tools in one kit, lasting for many months or even a year or two with the primary vacuum. I absolutely recommend this product. Everything you need!

Great value pack
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
I've used each type of item in my vacuum and they all work just as well as the originals. The fit is precise and they last just as long as the original items. It's a great value pack and I love that I have so many extras in the house. I did ding one star because the included screwdriver is the wrong size to install the side brush. If you aren't paying attention during installation you could easily strip the screw. The other items are very easy to install.
