Alocasia odora ‘California’

Alocasia odora ‘California’ is a compact green elephant-ear Alocasia with broad upright leaves, softly waved margins and prominent sunken veins. It has the broad green leaves typical of Alocasia odora, but stays smaller than many giant elephant-ear types. Established plants often produce offsets, so a single plant can gradually form a fuller pot.

The leaves are smooth green, broad and slightly oval, with softly wavy to slightly uneven margins. The midrib and primary veins are prominent and set into the leaf surface. Compared with Alocasia macrorrhizos, this plant stays more compact and has a more oval leaf shape.

Alocasia odora has a broad Asian range, from eastern India through parts of mainland and island Asia to southern Japan and Borneo. This plant has often been sold as Alocasia gageana, but Alocasia odora ‘California’ is now the better name for it.

The accepted species name, Alocasia odora (G.Lodd.) Spach, was published in 1846. The epithet odora refers to fragrance, linked with the scented flower structures of the species. ‘California’ is a cultivated name and does not mean the plant comes from California.

This plant grows larger and uses more water than small jewel Alocasia types, so it needs a steadier water supply and a more stable pot. It can work as a bright indoor floor plant, conservatory plant or sheltered warm-season outdoor plant after acclimation. It grows well indoors with bright light, root space and a stable container as the leaves increase in size.

Care

  • Light for broad green leaves: Give bright indirect light. It can take gentle morning or late-day sun after acclimation, but avoid harsh midday sun behind glass.
  • Watering a larger pot plant: Water when the top layer or upper 20–30% of the mix has dried. Large active plants should be watered before the whole pot dries completely.
  • Cooler periods: Reduce watering when light and temperature drop. This plant is more cool-tolerant than many tender Alocasia, but a cool wet pot can still damage the base.
  • Fertile open mix: Use a fertile but airy mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding component.
  • Stable container: Use a pot that balances the leaf weight. Increase pot size gradually as roots fill the space.
  • Temperature range: Active growth is best around 18–30 °C. Keep cooler plants drier rather than wet and cold.
  • Moderate humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually fine when light, warmth and watering are steady.
  • Steady feeding: Feed regularly but moderately during active growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Gradual repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix breaks down. Move up gradually instead of placing it straight into a very large pot.
  • Offset division: Divide rooted offsets or firm rhizome sections only when each piece has roots and a clear growing point.
  • Warm-season outdoor use: If used outdoors in warm weather, acclimate gradually and bring it back inside before cool wet periods.

Issues

  • Soft lower stems or base: Usually cold wet substrate, oversized pots or poor drainage. Check roots before the base collapses.
  • Large leaves drooping: Can come from underwatering, root loss, sudden temperature shifts or an unstable pot.
  • Lower leaves yellowing: One ageing leaf is normal. Several yellow leaves at once usually point to root stress, low light or a wet pot.
  • Brown margins: Drying too far, fertiliser salts, hard water or low humidity during leaf expansion can mark the edges.
  • Small new leaves: Often caused by weak light, depleted substrate, restricted roots or recent division.
  • Leaning growth: Large leaves can pull the plant toward the light. Rotate the pot occasionally and use a heavier container as the plant grows.
  • Crowded offsets: Offsets can make watering uneven when the pot becomes packed. Separate them only once they have roots.
  • Mites and thrips: Spider mites and thrips can settle on undersides and new leaves, especially in warm dry indoor air.

Safety

Alocasia odora ‘California’ contains calcium oxalate crystals, so plant material can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning or dividing offsets.

A stable pot, bright light and steady moisture help this compact elephant-ear form grow broad green leaves.

Well holy moly!
Format: Kindle
Holy moly that story definitely had me hooked! Kieran was definitely a character that I immediately adored. She has obviously had to deal with a butt load of too high expectations from her father (who is 🤬).. She has been helpless when it came to finding out her affinity with so many years of no answers & perceived failure. When Ronan, gives her a small inkling of hope that she be a Beast Tamer, she jumps into it. But again she doesn’t seem to fit. But when she runs into Gabe again, she ends up helping him & rethinking her life in Alfemir. And when the opportunity comes she decides leaving is the best option. But when Ronan demands he comes with her & then the random appearance of Bastian, she is feeling very overwhelmed. After she chooses to fall with them, they land on earth exactly where Gabe is located only to run into Steele who is a person that I was finding hard to like. After training, she eventually finds out she does have an affinity & it’s one that no longer exist & is incredibly powerful but also has a prophecy attached to it. I feel incredibly bad for her on she learns about the prophecy & Steele’s connection with it too. But that ending, with the battle scene & Niz….yeah definitely was not expecting that but hello I am all here for it too! Absolutely amazing start of a series & I for sure will be waiting for the next one to come out. Amazing job!

So good!
Format: Kindle
Wings of Stars was a fantastic first book to a new series. It grabbed me in its clutches within the first chapter and kept ahold of me. This new world of M Sinclair and RL Caulder’s is all about angels and mythical creatures. It’s full of drama from all points. From Kieran’s awful home life to keeping the stars alive and everything in between. Kieran is our FMC and despite everything she keeps her spirit and defiance. Keeping to their norm, there is a group of guys for our FMC but they definitely aren’t established yet, and not fully cemented yet into being a group rather than her choosing between them. Ronan is so sweet and gives off Daddy vibes Gabe is also sweet and wants the best of everything for Kieran and will defend her against anyone Bastian is slightly unhinged but I loved him immediately Steele is a jerk… just as you find redeeming qualities, he screws up again… but yet I still want him to redeem himself. There’s another one… but if I gave his name I would be spoiling a plot twist so you will just have to find out yourself… but you’ll love him as much as I do. This is a slow burn but the little bit of spice we do get is hot, especially with the dirty talk.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book! Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real. Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests. Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well. Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights. Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series. I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol. You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest. I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.
