Colocasia Esculenta Black Magic
Colocasia Esculenta Black Magic offered for sale as the daughter plant (1 of 4) of my organically grown mother plant (see photo); planted in self-mixed permeable organic substrate and grown WITHOUT fertiliser, therefore robust and top healthy (100% organic quality before quantity!). The leaves turn almost black in intense sun; this year (with good care) it will surely get another 4-6leaves; each additional leaf will be bigger than the one before...
COLOCASIA ESCULENTA "BLACK MAGIC" has black - heart-shaped leaves, wine-red stems; (with good care) can grow up to 100cm high; beautiful as a solitary plant; for the room, terrace or conservatory.
The plants like it warm and humid (indoors you can spray them regularly with lukewarm water). Between 05-10, the Colocasia can be grown as a tub plant in the garden, for a sunny to semi-shady location; originating from Central Asia and India. Neither the plant nor the tuber is hardy!
If you want, you can also give the adult! If you want, you can also give the adult plant a "winter break"; so that only the tuber (without leaves) gets through the winter in the winter quarters at about 15C. In spring, with enough sun & warmth, it will sprout again beautifully; like all my Colocasias since a few years...
You get the plant of the displayed size.
