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.

You'll flip over the added countertop!
Good product, seems well made. Installation was simple enough. It gives us a little extra counter space when needed. The only issue is it blocks the entry a little when flipped up in our RV. Just look before you step in.

Works great for our RV.
Perfect for a side table for my wife's coffee pot in our RV. She puts the coffee pot in the cabinet when we leave from camping and put the shelf down. Exactly what we needed.
