Alocasia, commonly known as the Elephant Ear plant, is a group of perennial plants known for their large, beautifully patterned leaves. These tropical plants are native to Asia and Eastern Australia and are often used as striking ornamental plants both indoors and outdoors in warm climates. Alocasias prefer high humidity and indirect, bright light. They can be challenging to care for, especially in cooler, less humid environments, but their dramatic foliage makes them a popular choice for plant enthusiasts.
