If you must have one plant that screams "tropical rain forest," then this Dark Star Elephant Ear is! The leaves of this alocasia can grow larger than most other Elephant ears, creating an indoor canopy of mysterious lushness if the conditions are right! The dark and moody leaves will become more pronounced as the plant matures, creating a mystical atmosphere. This vase-shaped, upright houseplant likes average household temperatures but will reward you with fresh new growth when the air is warm and humid. Keep the soil moist but not soaked, as alocasias need constant moisture! Water these indoor plants less in cooler environments and more often during warm spells! This plant is toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation. Keep away from pets and children.
