Colocasia esculenta 'Black Coral
Colocasia esculenta 'Black Coral' is a striking houseplant, famous for its foliage in deep shades of black and dark green, which adds a touch of exoticism and sophistication to any interior space. This variety of Colocasia is perfect for those looking for a bold houseplant with a strong visual impact.
Origin: Colocasia esculenta, also known as taro, is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and India. The 'Black Coral' variety has been selected for its almost black leaves, which provide a striking contrast with other lighter houseplants.
Growth: This plant is fast-growing in the right conditions, usually reaching 60-120 cm in height. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, with a smooth texture and ebony-black hues that can appear almost metallic in certain lights. The impressive size and unique color of its leaves make this plant a remarkable choice for a tropical or modern setting.
Flowers: Colocasia esculenta 'Black Coral' can produce spathe-like inflorescences, similar to those of arums, but these are rare and inconspicuous compared to the attractiveness of the foliage.
Light: This plant prefers bright but indirect light. It can tolerate partial shade, but its colors will be more intense under moderate indirect light. It is crucial to avoid direct sunlight to avoid burning the leaves.
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Colocasia 'Black Coral' appreciates high ambient humidity, and it's advisable not to let the soil dry out between waterings. This plant also benefits from regular misting to maintain high humidity around the foliage.
Substrate: Use a rich, well-draining potting soil, ideally formulated for tropical plants. A mixture of standard potting soil with compost or other organic matter can promote optimal growth. Make sure the pot has good drainage to avoid water accumulation.
Toxicity: Colocasia esculenta 'Black Coral' may be toxic if ingested due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation. We therefore recommend keeping it out of the reach of pets and young children.
