Plant in partial sunlight and either in rich soil/earth directly or in a large container. They can do well indoors if given the proper light and average temperatures. These Colocasia NORMALLY suffer some leaf loss but they will bounce back if given the proper moisture/sunlight/warmth.
Special note for this plant: These can be difficult to ship and we are NOT responsible for this specific item's arrival condition unless significant stress was caused by being in transit, such as a broken box or snapped stems. Leaf blemishes are normal, as they do not like the lack of light at all, especially this size, but it's the only size we can ship economically.
As warned on the website, this plant wilted a little at first but is bouncing back quickly and already pushing out a new leaf. Can’t wait to see this grow!
I recently found this lovely nursery and have used them twice so far. I’ve ordered 5 plants and received 5 healthy plants and was not disappointed. Great customer service, wonderful packaging and safe arrival. You can’t go wrong. ❤️
Unfortunately, the leaves on this plant had to be removed when I received it (I think it got a little cold out for it during shipping). However, I knew that if it was a strong plant, it would send out new leaves pretty quickly. I was not disappointed! The new leaves began to appear within a couple of days after having cut off the old ones. I am excited to see this one continue to grow!
It was a bit sad looking when it first arrived. But thanks to the feedback from the other buyers, I put it outdoors with great light and, not long, the tiny green shoot grows into two. Beautiful plant. Love the black variation!
Beautiful plant! One of the leaves were dying but also had some new growth! Plant was droopy and super dry but was expected! Gave it a good soak and perked back up in the morning! Would buy another 😍
I was pleasantly surprised to see no leave damages when I received the colocasia. It has sprouted a new leave since then. Looking forward to much growth this summer!
It was not in good condition when it arrived. 2 leaves were already ruined. It is being nursed back to health now. I have one new leaf. I think it will come back. It was well packed, I think due to the change of weather and the postal service my plant suffered. I love Gabriella plants. I am a customer for life.

I’m about to purchase more colocasia from Gabriella Plants! They don’t like being shipped and I’m all the way across the country in LA, so she freaked out a bit and kept all but one leaf. Just be patient if this happens as the plants are shipped happy and healthy. I wish I had a current picture but the other pic is from a few weeks after I received it and now another couple weeks later she has 3 big healthy mojito leaves.
Not sure of the plant is just fragile or what. I am giving it some water and light to see if it comes out of it. It's wilty post shipment. Time will tell.
This plant came in great condition! It was super happy and had a ton of tiny plants popping out. My mom absolutely loves this one and has been wanting to get one for the longest time. I’m happy that I was able to gift my mom this plant, thank you for the happy and healthy plant GP! I wish I could upload a second picture because it exploded in growth after a couple of months in my mom’s care.
I love this plant. It arrived in good condition and there are some offsets in the pot too! It is growing well in my humidity tent and I look forward to watching it get nice and big.
As advised in the description of this plant, it doesn't ship well. Mine arrived with a couple of wilted, partially dry leaves, but it also has new leaves coming. I can't wait to see it when it recovers and starts to grow larger leaves. I know I can always count on Gabriella Plants for delivering healthy well-grown plants.
My mojito is very cool but isn't doing well. It arrived beautiful, but it is not happy in its environment. My friend is taking home and giving it a new home. Better light.
Arrived in perfect condition!! I’m attempting to grow my mojito indoors, and have him on a pebble tray next to a warm, bright window and humidifier (I live in a dry climate). It doesn’t look as pretty now (apparently it loved the shipping box) but it already has a new leaf.
It was my first purchase and I’m thrilled!!! I’ve been looking to cross this plant off of my wishlist for some time now. It was packed beautifully and is adjusting well!
Worried about your plants arriving safely in chilly weather? Add this to your order!
