For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.

Alocasia 'Macrorrhiza'

Giant Taro

Known as the Giant Taro for the great green luscious leaves that they have, which by far are some of the biggest we have seen.

These glossy multi-trunk specimens are a real tropical delight for any home or office.

They are native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland, meaning they like humid conditions but also a good amount of indirect light.

Need to know

The large green leaves need a fair amount of dappled light to keep them green and growing strong. They love humidity so a big bathroom can be a haven.

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but definitely keep more on the moist than dry side.

The big leaves are prone to tearing as they are just so large. Best snip out any that have seen better days and await new great ones.
