Redemption Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Redemption')
Redemption Elephant Ear is a dramatic tropical foliage plant valued for its glossy black leaves, vivid pink centers, and bold warm-season presence. Its dark rippled foliage develops bright pink veining and central coloring that becomes especially striking in heat, giving containers, patios, poolside plantings, and moist garden beds a high-contrast look. This clumping elephant ear brings strong color and texture without relying on flowers for impact. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and part sun to filtered light, Redemption Elephant Ear creates a polished tropical display in indoor and outdoor spaces.
Distinctive Features
Redemption Elephant Ear produces glossy jet-black to deep purple-black leaves with a hot pink center and pink veining that intensifies as the foliage matures. The leaves have a shiny, rippled surface that adds texture and movement to the plant's dark color. It forms a compact to medium clump, making it easier to use in containers and designed beds than some larger elephant ear selections. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its dramatic foliage, tropical texture, and unusual black-and-pink color pattern.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in part sun to filtered light, with protection from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates to keep the foliage clean and reduce stress.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
- Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
- USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 7 to 11 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
- Mature Size: Typically reaches about 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, with larger size possible in especially warm, well-watered sites.
- Habit: Forms an upright, clumping tropical plant with large dark leaves rising from the base on sturdy petioles.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a dramatic black-and-pink foliage focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or moist garden areas.
- Container Planting: Grow in a large decorative pot where its glossy dark foliage and pink centers can provide strong color and be moved or protected before cold weather.
- Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or protected low areas where its love of moisture can support strong growth.
- Tropical Garden: Pair with chartreuse colocasias, cannas, caladiums, bananas, gingers, coleus, and bright annuals to create a layered warm-season display.
- Mixed Border: Use in large mixed beds where its dark leaves and pink veining can add depth, contrast, and tropical texture among lower plants.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
- Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
- Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the large ornamental leaves.
- Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
- Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.
Why Choose Redemption Elephant Ear?
- Black And Pink Foliage: Displays glossy dark leaves with vivid pink centers and veins for a rare, high-contrast tropical look.
- Rippling Texture: Produces shiny rippled foliage that adds movement, depth, and polished detail to containers and garden beds.
- Compact Clumping Habit: Offers bold elephant ear impact in a more manageable form for containers, patios, and designed plantings.
- Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with strong foliage production during the growing season.
- Container Friendly: Works well in patio pots where it can be featured outdoors in summer and protected before frost.
Redemption Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want tropical foliage with unusual color, glossy texture, and strong seasonal impact. Its black leaves, hot pink centers, clumping habit, and love of moisture make it a standout plant for containers, patios, moist garden beds, and dramatic warm-season landscape designs.

Wide and comfortable office chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic, Color: Black, Style: Classic
It's made of very fine leather and in good quality. It has a pump to pump air to the back of the chair, so I can adjust the softness of the chair back. It's a very wide chair. Maybe the widest one I ever bought. I can only sit half of its space. It's very easy to install, the alignments are perfect. Its arm and height is adjustable. The wheels are advance ones which make it move through the floor smoothly. It looks an advance chair if you want an upgraded experience.

Comfortable Seating
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I honestly didn’t expect this chair to be this comfortable, but it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I sit at my desk for long hours every day, and the adjustable air-pump lumbar support has been a total game changer. I love that I can fine-tune the firmness depending on how my back feels that day. My lower back pain has noticeably improved since switching to this chair.The seat is wide, thick, and very supportive without feeling stiff, which makes long work sessions much more comfortable. The armrests are another big plus—they adjust in so many directions that I can always find the perfect position for typing, reading, or relaxing. The chair feels extremely sturdy and well built, and it gives me confidence knowing it supports higher weight without wobbling.Assembly was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. Overall, this chair feels premium, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, all-day office chair.

Nice chair, w/ good cust support
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I apologize for length, but if I am doing a review for other people I assume you want to have as
much info as possible to make a decision. I feel this chair is for tall/fat/both so will review it as
such. At 6’4” @ 350lbs I fit into both, but reviewing based upon my body, yours is different so
adjust according.
TLDR – Would buy again, cavernous comfy chair with excellent customer support. Only
personal dings against chair are the back could be taller, but added back due to support.
Parts + Fit/Finish + Assembly:
The parts have some heft and feel solid as expected for a chair designed for heavy people.
Material and stitching look proper and I see no flaws. My box was beat to hell and ripped
opened at one point. Packing material took the hit and did its job as the items were unaffected.
The gas cylinder for the chair was missing and assume lost during shipping. (see customer
service). Assembly was standard office chair fare with simple and clear instructions.
Wheels / Height / Controls:
I normally wouldn’t think of mentioning wheels, but it’s different than expected. They are
good, maybe too good. A slight kick to push you back on wood floors sends you flying. The
height adjustment for me is good/standard. At full height my feet are flat on the floor and
where I would have the chair even if it went higher. My wife (5’6”) at that height is about 2.5
inches above the floor. Taller people than myself may wish for more height. Chair controls are
standard fare and operate smoothly
Seat:
It’s large and with the arms is there is nothing even close to your hip/legs. I can put my fist on
my hips and my arms barely touch the chair arms. This is why you are thinking of this chair, and
for that you will not be disappointed. The seat is not pillow soft and IMHO a little firmer than I
liked at first, but after a few days got broken in or I adjusted. I am a programmer + gamer so
spend a lot of time in the chair for hours on end. Comfortable and no complaints at all. Seat
depth for me is ~1” from my knee and good with roughly 20.5” usable butt/thigh length. That
should be fine for big/tall but may be a bit much for big/short. Measure your current chair and
decide from there.
Back:
The back lets the chair down a bit for me, the big/tall user, as the target seems to be big/short
users. The back ends just below my shoulder-line. That obviously means no leaning my head
back and the headrest is squarely on my shoulder blades. Not uncomfortable, but I’d prefer a
taller back. For me personally I’d like it to be extended 4”, but that would likely be an issue for
shorter users. I feel if the manufacturer increased the back by 2 inches it would be an ideal
compromise for all users. The chair has an inflatable lumbar support, which I did not use as I
personally find those uncomfortable. Also note the chair is designed for a more proper posture
with a 90deg back and not a more relaxed 100-110deg. Neither pro/con as personal
preference.
Arms:
The design of the arms being supported by rear only as mentioned earlier allow for an
abundance of hip/thigh space. This is an excellent ergonomic design with a potential caveat.
More stress will be placed upon the connection/joint. The joint for this chair is just shy of 4” so
seems beefy but only time will tell if it holds up to the lateral force of leaning on it while
reading. My chairs tend to last 5-7 years, due to the right arm feeling wobbly or the chair
leaning to the right. The arm adjustments provide a nice front/back of ~3”, from touching chair
back to 3” gap between chair/armrest. The height is similar and also moves the armrest
forward about another 2”. At full forward/up the armrest are higher than I like so should easily
accommodate taller users.
Customer Service
My chair was missing a part that I suspect was lost during shipping due to box condition. I
contacted them Sun (7/20/2025 @ 1201). At 2228 that night I received a response that they
acknowledged the issue and gave a tracking order for the missing part. The part arrived Mon
7/28 and gave a few days to test it out for review Fri (8/1). Obviously you don’t want an issue,
but if an issue arises how a company handles it tells you a lot IMHO on how they feel about
their product. I am very pleased with their handling of the matter.

Great Chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic
The durability, recline, noise, fit, and appearance, and stability of the chair were all fantastic. As someone of a shorter height, the backrest which is normally way to high or short for my head fits perfectly. The chair itself is easy to assemble and very comfortable to sit in for long hours. I tend do a lot of work at home and this chair feels very comfortable without feeling the need to get up. The chair looks great set up in my office and is honestly a great office chair. For moving around a room, the wheel guides across my carpet very smoothly with struggling unlike my previous chair which would need a heavy push. Not only that, the chair is noiseless which is a plus for people who get bothered by little sounds when moving around. The fit could honestly fit anyone of any size as the chair itself is quite wide and roomy for me. The seat is also made up of faux leather and feels well stitched and quite durable.

Decent Price
Color: Black, Style: Classic
Chair arrived and was missing critical component so that I could not assemble it. Contacted seller and they sent me a similar component within 2 weeks. Chair was now easy to assemble and very comfortable to use for long periods. Although I wished it could raise another two inches. Also be aware chair might be challenging to get thru a standard 29-30inch doorway but not impossible. Thank You Seller for your help.
