Alocasia 'Macrorrhiza', also known as Elephant Ear, originates from the tropical regions of Asia. This giant, trendy houseplant can be found in almost every urban jungle. With this Alocasia, you will have a tropical houseplant with particularly large leaves. The leaves of this plant can reach a width of 60 centimeters. A new leaf is currently emerging from the center of the plant. After that, it unfolds and droops downwards. This causes the height and width of the plant to constantly vary. Keep in mind that Alocasia needs plenty of space and place the houseplant in an area where it can grow both upwards and outwards.

Care
Alocasia prefers a sunny spot. It is advisable to rotate the houseplant a quarter turn from time to time so that it does not grow in just one direction. Additionally, Alocasia prefers moist soil. Make sure that the potting soil is always slightly damp. It is important that the roots do not sit in water. It is better to give the Alocasia a little water every day than to provide a large amount all at once.
