Colocasia Esculenta Black Magic
Colocasia esculenta ‘Black Magic’ — Organic-Grown, Deep Black Foliage Beauty
Discover one of the most dramatic foliage plants in the aroid world: Colocasia esculenta ‘Black Magic’, organically grown at TOMs FLOWer CLUB in a self-mixed, permeable organic substrate — without any fertiliser, resulting in plants that are exceptionally robust, healthy and naturally strong.
Quality before quantity, always.
A Collector’s Favourite with True Presence
Under strong sunlight, the large heart-shaped leaves transform into an almost black, velvety shade, contrasted beautifully by wine-red stems. With good care, your plant will produce 4–6 new leaves every year, each one bigger and more impressive than the last.
A spectacular architectural plant for your living room, terrace or conservatory — or outdoors between May and October.

Optional Winter Rest
If desired, you may give your plant a winter break:
Let the leaves die back naturally, keep the tuber at around 15°C, and let it dry slightly.
In spring, with enough sun & warmth, it will sprout back beautifully — as reliably as all Colocasias in the TOMs FLOWer CLUB collection.
