Plant grown from a root rhizome/tuber; the tubers are from 100% organic cultivation and therefore of very high quality as well as the plant itself grown by me; planted in self-mixed permeable organic substrate and grown WITHOUT fertiliser therefore robust and top healthy (quality before quantity!).

Colocasia Esculenta "White Lava" has green heart-shaped leaves with a creamy-white leaf centre, 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 love it warm and humid (indoors you can shower them regularly with lukewarm water). They grow best in the shade, although most species could also grow in some sunlight as long as they get enough water.

Between 05-10, colocasia can be grown as a container 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!
