- UNIQUE LEAF ARTISTRY: The Elepaio, also known as Milky Way, boasts one-of-a-kind leaves that resemble works of art. No two leaves are alike, showcasing beautiful cream, white, and green detailing. As the plant matures, its attributes become even more pronounced, adding elegance to any outdoor space.
- PLANT SIZE: A baby plant in a 3-inch-deep pot, ranging from 3-8 inches tall. Nurture it to maturity with your green thumb and watch it grow into a stunning addition to your garden.
- AVERAGE MATURE HEIGHT: Reaching an impressive height of 3 feet when fully grown, this Elephant Ear plant commands attention and adds a captivating vertical element to your garden landscape.
- LIGHT AND SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Thriving in sun to part shade, the Elepaio prefers a moist but not soggy soil environment. Ensure a balanced watering routine to provide optimal growing conditions for this remarkable tropical plant.
- ZONES AND DORMANCY: Suitable for zones 7b-11, the Elepaio exhibits its resilience during the dormant period. In winter, it may lose its leaves, arriving bare to your home. Embrace this natural process as the plant focuses on strengthening its root system. With the arrival of spring and increased light and warmth, it will sprout vibrant new leaves.

Elephant Ear Fuel contains the Ideal Nutrient Ratio to help your Alocasias and Colocasias reach their potential
Power Up Your Alocasias and Colocasias with Elephant Ear Fuel Fertilizer
Wellspring Gardens' Elephant Ear Fuel Fertilizer isn't just any fertilizer – it's a custom blend designed specifically for your Alocasias and Colocasias. Our formula includes a balanced ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients that plants need to thrive. But that's not all.
Elephant Ear Fuel also contains essential intermediate nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as a host of micronutrients. Together, these elements work to stimulate strong and healthy growth, helping your Alocasias and Colocasias reach their full potential.
Moreover, plants also need carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which they naturally get from air and water. When combined with optimal sunlight and watering practices, Elephant Ear Fuel offers the ideal nutrition profile for your plants.

Plant Care
Plant Care
Once receiving a plant cutting, immediately transfer to water with 1/4 strength fertilizer. Allow the plant time to acclimate to its new setting by placing it in an appropriate window, or near a growl light. Just make sure the spot will not burn the leaves of your plant! Keep in mind that it may take some time for your plant to adjust after shipping.
We take great care in packaging our plants to ensure they arrive in good condition. However, in rare instances plants can be damaged during shipping. This can include brown or yellow leaves, bent leaves, or rot on the stem and roots. Don't worry, with a bit of TLC, your plant will bounce back and continue to grow. Please reach out with any questions and we will support your new leafy babe in any way we can.
