The Colocasia esculenta 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral', also known as Taro or Elephant Ear, stands as a majestic emblem of tropical beauty. With its deep black-purple leaves that shimmer with a satin-like finish, this plant promises to be a stunning focal point in any garden setting.

How to Grow

The 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral' thrives in partial to full sunlight. It's suited for USDA zones 8-11 and loves consistently moist, well-draining soil. Plant its bulbs 4 inches deep, allowing ample space between each for its large leaves to spread.

Care Tips

This variety of Elephant Ear demands regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. While it relishes moisture, avoid letting it sit in stagnant water to deter root rot. In hotter climates, a shaded afternoon spot will help prevent leaf scorching.

Uses

The dramatic leaves of the 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral' are not just ornamental delights but are also popular in several culinary dishes, especially in Asian cuisines. Its aesthetic appeal makes it a prime choice for both container gardening and aquatic landscapes.

Planting Tips

When planting this Taro, ensure the pointed end of the bulb faces upwards. For a bold visual impact, consider planting in clusters. If in containers, choose a sizeable pot to accommodate its growth and ensure proper drainage.

Maintenance

During its growing season, feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. As winter sets in, reduce the frequency of watering. In colder zones, consider bringing containers indoors to shield from frost.

Pests and Diseases

While generally hardy, watch for spider mites and aphids. A gentle spray of insecticidal soap can keep these at bay. Proper soil drainage and avoiding waterlogged conditions are paramount to prevent diseases like fungal and bacterial rots.

Soak It All In!
Used this for our trip to Mexico in February 2026 to Huatulco. Wow, That place is hot!! I love the sun and usually I don’t burn. I may go red, but it softens to a brown. My husband on the other hand is Dutch so we have 2 colours: porcelain white and lobster red! This concoction was wonderful. It aided in cooling the burn and the menthol felt very refreshing and soaked in quickly. I didn’t feel any residue, and I know our skin was well nourished. I bought my first bottle through Amazon in Canada. But looking for more, I checked out Amazon in the US. Even after the exchange and shipping, I actually got this product at a more convenient cost through the US. I would highly recommend this product.

great product and reef safe
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
bought this sunscreen because where we were traveling you could be fined if you weren't using reef safe sunscreen. this sunscreen went on easy and soaked in well. i appreciate that its mineral based and not filled with a ton of chemicals like most brands are. I also liked that the bottle turned color when you had UV exposure. We like the product and use it all the time even if it doesn't need to be reef safe.

This is the sunscreen I've been looking for my entire life
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've tried almost every sunscreen under the sun. I've used lotions, sprays, sticks, always above spf50. I apply every 2-3 hours and always after swimming. I make sure the product isn't expired and you know what I STILL GET BURNED. BUT THIS ONE- I wore it on a carribean vacation so I was out in the sun constantly and NO SUN BURN AT ALL. I've officially become a blue lizard fan and will buy nothing else. The product is thicker than traditional sunscreen and you may need more than you traditionally use but it is so worth it. The smell is very slight if at all. It did not stick to my clothes at all. I went swimming with it on and it honestly was still on even after being in the ocean. I still reapplied to be safe but I could feel the first application still on my skin. I used the lotion for all over application and the spray can to help with getting my back and reapply on my legs. I used the little deodorant stick to apply to face and ears. All were very easy to use. And that's the only downside I have. You do have to scrub a little bit to get it off at the end of the day. For me not a downside at all because I know it was worth it for the sun protection and I would have had to scrub to get all the sand off anyway.
