Colocasia – Black Magic

I have yet again, expanded my plant mom life. My friend brought me this beauty and I’m obsessed. She’s massive and absolutely stunning. Another name for her is the elephant ear black magic. Colocasias love water. Since obtaining her on Tuesday, I have watered her every morning as I still have her in her original pot. These plants can be planted outside, however, with it being the middle of summer and so hot, I have decided that she will be an indoor plant. Her seriously dark leaves pop against the monsteras in my house. A humidifier going nonstop on two sides of her and the monsteras around her help provide a tropical environment. Also have grow lights on either side of the monstera to help provide enough light. Rearranging the living room to provide a space for all of the tropical plants was a slight challenge but it fits perfectly in the large living room. Now to enjoy her beauty as well as all my other plants.
