We really love this foliage houseplant - it’s fabulous! Alocasia Portodora or Elephant’s Ear plant is an enormous structural plant that will certainly make you feel as though you’ve just stepped into the rainforest!

The Alocasia plant has huge emerald green leaves with wonderfully scalloped edges, sprouting from thick stalks - almost like a gigantic rhubarb plant!  It would look fabulous in the corner of a sitting room or hall, a touch of the exotic in your home!

Portodora will need a really bright spot, and love humidity, he will need to sit in a south facing window in the winter and near a north facing window in the summer. 

Why not place Elephant’s Ear plant near a window with some other Happy Houseplants at his feet.  He can even provide some shade for them! You will have a mini rainforest in your living room……

If someone is lucky enough to be receiving this houseplant as a gift, we can include a free handwritten card with the delivery. Just include your gift message at the basket stage of checkout - we won’t enclose paperwork with the delivery to keep the price secret!
