Colocasia 'Black Coral' boasts an intense, nearly jet-black hue that is truly captivating. Enhanced by blue-tinged veins and a satin-like sheen, its leaves feature seaweed-like rippled edges, adding to its allure. Whether displayed as an indoor houseplant or showcased outdoors during the summer months, this tropical beauty is sure to captivate attention for its unique appeal. While not tolerant of cold temperatures and requiring indoor protection initially, it flourishes when placed outdoors during the warmer summer season.
Colocasias are relatively simple to cultivate and highly versatile, thriving in various soil types. They benefit from regular watering to encourage lush foliage growth. In colder climates, it's crucial to ensure well-drained compost to prevent waterlogging. These plants grow well in both shade and sunlight.
