Alocasia macrorrhiza - Giant Taro, Elephant Ear

Alocasia macrorrhiza, commonly known as Giant Taro or Elephant Ear, is a spectacular tropical plant admired for its massive, glossy, heart-shaped leaves. With its bold, dramatic foliage and impressive height, this Alocasia makes an impactful statement in any garden. Reaching up to 2–3 metres in height, it adds a lush, tropical feel to landscapes.

Position


Giant Taro thrives in sun or partial shade and prefers a warm, humid environment. It does well in sheltered areas protected from harsh winds. While sun-hardened plants tolerate full sun, best results are achieved with morning sun and afternoon shade in hotter climates.

Growth


This fast-growing Alocasia reaches an impressive height of 2–3 metres with a spread of about 1–1.5 meters. Its large leaves and upright growth habit make it ideal for creating a tropical effect in large garden beds, as a focal plant, or as a statement plant indoors in well-lit spacious areas.

Planting Guide


Alocasia macrorrhiza grows best in well-drained, rich soil that retains moisture. Plant outdoors, spacing plants at least 1.5-2 metres apart to allow for full growth. When grown indoors, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Position at soil level, water deeply, and apply a thick layer of mulch to retain soil moisture.

Plant Care


Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during warm weather or the growing season. This plant loves humidity, so misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby is beneficial, especially indoors. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote robust growth. Prune away any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to maintain its appearance.

White film left
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I know that mineral sunscreen is the best. But this one will leave a white film on you. I have used other sunscreens that work without the white film.

You get Zink, but no “tropical” scent
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great product. I wanted a Zink based sunscreen for my face, but I was hoping it would still have the Sun Bum traditional “tropical” scent. Sadly nope. I’m mixing it with the traditional Sun Bum 30 so I can get my tropical feel while keeping my face safe from sun damage. Hopefully I don’t turn green :)

Worked great
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin is very sensitive to the sun. My skin does not tan I sun burn quickly! I love this sunblock because according to the ingredients it's reef & sea animal friendly. I found this product didn't leave a very noticeable white cast on my skin. I was able to blend it with very little noticeable white cast. I didn't find it sticky or really rubbing off on my clothes or bathing suite. In respect to all the things I mention it was all at a very minimal notice. For me it didn't have a smell of any kind. I used this product on vacation in Mexico. I tried & stayed out of the sun as much as I could. I went on a Mayan ruin tour following a snorkeling excursion & did not get a sunburn! Usually for that long period of time in the sun I would have received a light sunburn using other sunblocks but instead I actually got a light tan! I did apply this product on my body & face. I have to say this is my 1st time using this brand & it worked super well for me. :) *Just FYI when I applied this product I didn't need to apply to much if you do its going to obviously leave a white cast. I only applied as needed through out the day. Also make sure you give it time to sit to soak into your skin before putting on your clothes. After all you do have to wait a few min after applying before going out in the sun. That's any sunblock directions.

Finally! A sunscreen that works and does not burn my eyes.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am unable to use chemical or hybrid sunscreens on my face because they "melt" and destroy my eyes. Living in the south means daily sunscreen year-around is a must - having found this product is a godsend. Unscented, no chemicals to discolor my clothes, no titanium dioxide so no purple-white ghostly cast, easily rubs in. Simply perfect!!!

Effective Mineral Sun Protection
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This mineral sunscreen does a great job at blocking the sun. It applies smoothly, although it does have a slightly pasty texture which is typical of mineral sunscreens. I love that it was on the thinner side for consistency which makes it easy to apply evenly. We used it extensively last summer and it kept us well protected. We'll definitely be using it again this summer!
