Alocasia odora 'California'

Alocasia odora 'California' is a green elephant-ear Alocasia with broad upright leaves and thick petioles. It carries the generous leaf shape of Alocasia odora and develops a broad green outline in bright indoor growing.

The leaves are bright to medium green, softly pleated between the veins and held above the pot on strong stems. In a bright room, conservatory or sheltered warm-season position, the plant creates a full green canopy with little pattern or heavy texture on the blades.

Broad green elephant-ear foliage

  • Species: Alocasia odora is a broad-leaved Asian species from warm, wet habitats.
  • Leaf shape: Large heart-to-arrow-shaped blades with a smooth green surface.
  • Habit: Upright rhizomatous growth that can form a fuller clump with age.
  • Container use: larger potted plant for bright indoor floors, conservatories and sheltered warm-season positions.

Growing Odora California in a pot

This plant has a higher water demand during warm active growth than small jewel Alocasia. The substrate should hold enough moisture for large leaves while staying coarse enough that the lower pot remains oxygenated.

  • Light: In consistent indirect light, petioles stay firm and broad leaves expand cleanly. Acclimate slowly before any gentle outdoor sun.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper few centimetres dry. Reduce frequency as temperature and light drop.
  • Substrate: Use a fertile aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding component.
  • Pot choice: Use a weighty pot that balances the leaf weight and gives roots room as the plant matures.
  • Temperature: Maintain warmth above 18 °C, with active growth around 20–30 °C.
  • Humidity: A even humidity level lets wide leaves expand smoothly.
  • Fertilising: Apply balanced fertiliser at moderate strength through active growth.
  • Propagation: Divide established offsets or firm rhizome sections during active growth; each piece needs firm tissue, roots and a visible growing point.
  • Mineral substrates: Use inert mineral or semi-hydro culture only after careful transition, with shallow water levels and the base above the wettest layer.
  • Seasonal placement: Move outdoor summer plants back inside before cool nights and wet autumn weather.

Broad leaves after watering shifts

  • Soft lower stems: Check for cold wet substrate and reduce watering until warmth and root activity return.
  • Drooping leaves: Review water uptake, pot stability and sudden temperature changes.
  • Brown margins: Balance watering depth, humidity and fertiliser strength.
  • Pest damage: Inspect undersides regularly for spider mites and thrips.

Scented elephant-ear foliage indoors

Alocasia odora 'California' is toxic if chewed. Place it away from pets and children, and handle sap with care.

Odora name and California form

The genus name Alocasia is formed in relation to Colocasia. The species epithet odora comes from Latin and refers to fragrance, a name connected with the scented inflorescences of the species.

A warm, bright pot gives Alocasia odora 'California' the room to build its broad green canopy.

Moisturizing, effective, pleasantly scented sunscreen
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the go-to sunscreen our whole family has been using for years. It feels moisturizing (but not greasy) and is easy to rub in to avoid any kind of chalky, white residue. The scent is subtle and pleasant, not the strong pronounced sunscreen smell that a lot of others have. Best of all, it is effective! The bottle received is different than the one pictured on Amazon, but we’re not buying it for the bottle, so that’s okay. :) Would recommend.

I hate sunscreens, but...
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I hate sunscreen in general--for it's texture and smell. But, being the palest family on Earth makes it a daily necessity. I was pleasantly surprised to actually like the smell of this product! It's a light fruity fragrance. It has a smooth texture like lotion and glided on my skin without being too thick or greasy and no white marks. A little goes a long way too! I could hardly believe I was putting on sunscreen and not regular body lotion. My kids had no issue with it either! They let me put this stuff on their little faces without complaint since it goes on so smoothly. Most importantly, this product did it's job and we were sunburn free. The tube is small--4 ounces--but I don't care because it's so worth having something that goes on easy and doesn't make us greasy and stinky. I bought several tubes--one for each member of the family. *If this review was helpful, please click 'yes' below. Thanks!*

It’s ok
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Doesn’t smell like anything, especially not fruit. Seems to work well- it’s what we use on our faces. I started using this all over on my daughter because their spray version is not good.

Overall this is a very good product
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this because every sunblock I own eventually gets in my eyes and burns the living daylights out of them. I prefer to use something that isn't laden with chemicals, is cruelty free and reef safe so this looked like it would fit the bill and indeed, it does. It is a true "no tears" formula which I very much appreciate. As with so many zinc based sunblocks there's still a slight "Kabuki mask" effect but it isn't as bad as some of the other zinc products. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's easy to spread because it doesn't have a lot of "slip", doesn't glide like the non-zinc products. You do have to work with it for awhile to get rid of the decidedly chalky consistency but once you get going it seems to be okay. I think somebody else mentioned using a moisturizer before you put it on which seems like good idea even though this is supposed to be moisturizing. Would I purchase this again? I'm pretty sure I will because the "no tears" aspect of the product is important to me. I'll probably use it with a light carrier oil on my face first, let that oil sink in and then put this on top. I'll keep you posted on how that works out. Thank you, Alba Botanica, for being cruelty free and reef safe!
