Allocasia
Allocasia, also known as Elephant Ear or Alocasia spp., is a striking and dramatic plant celebrated for its large, glossy, and often heart-shaped leaves. Native to tropical regions of Asia and the Pacific Islands, Alocasia features bold foliage with striking patterns, colors, and shapes that can range from deep green to silver or purple. The plant can grow up to 3 to 6 feet tall, making it a focal point in both indoor and outdoor settings.

It enjoys high humidity and regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy.
