Alocasia lauterbachiana pothos This Elephant Ear

This Elephant Ear

It has fragrant leaves which are used widely for flavouring rice

a trailing plant that can spill over the edge of a shelf or climb up a support pole

although it takes up to ten years to get to this size

It is still a palm which is not often found in NZ and therefore quite sought after

Alocasia lauterbachiana pothos This Elephant EarThe Alocasia lauterbachiana displays unique colouring with its dark green leaf face and deep purple underside, complemented by its matte black stems. This plant is different from the other Alocasias in the way its stems are far more upright and structured. This plant follows the Alocasia family traits where it will thrive only when kept in its ideal conditions. Less than ideal conditions may result in marks on the leaves or potential leaf loss.
