Alocasia odora 'California'

Alocasia odora 'California' is a green elephant-ear Alocasia with broad upright leaves and thick petioles. It carries the generous leaf shape of Alocasia odora and develops a broad green outline in bright indoor growing.

The leaves are bright to medium green, softly pleated between the veins and held above the pot on strong stems. In a bright room, conservatory or sheltered warm-season position, the plant creates a full green canopy with little pattern or heavy texture on the blades.

Broad green elephant-ear foliage

  • Species: Alocasia odora is a broad-leaved Asian species from warm, wet habitats.
  • Leaf shape: Large heart-to-arrow-shaped blades with a smooth green surface.
  • Habit: Upright rhizomatous growth that can form a fuller clump with age.
  • Container use: larger potted plant for bright indoor floors, conservatories and sheltered warm-season positions.

Growing Odora California in a pot

This plant has a higher water demand during warm active growth than small jewel Alocasia. The substrate should hold enough moisture for large leaves while staying coarse enough that the lower pot remains oxygenated.

  • Light: In consistent indirect light, petioles stay firm and broad leaves expand cleanly. Acclimate slowly before any gentle outdoor sun.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper few centimetres dry. Reduce frequency as temperature and light drop.
  • Substrate: Use a fertile aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding component.
  • Pot choice: Use a weighty pot that balances the leaf weight and gives roots room as the plant matures.
  • Temperature: Maintain warmth above 18 °C, with active growth around 20–30 °C.
  • Humidity: A even humidity level lets wide leaves expand smoothly.
  • Fertilising: Apply balanced fertiliser at moderate strength through active growth.
  • Propagation: Divide established offsets or firm rhizome sections during active growth; each piece needs firm tissue, roots and a visible growing point.
  • Mineral substrates: Use inert mineral or semi-hydro culture only after careful transition, with shallow water levels and the base above the wettest layer.
  • Seasonal placement: Move outdoor summer plants back inside before cool nights and wet autumn weather.

Broad leaves after watering shifts

  • Soft lower stems: Check for cold wet substrate and reduce watering until warmth and root activity return.
  • Drooping leaves: Review water uptake, pot stability and sudden temperature changes.
  • Brown margins: Balance watering depth, humidity and fertiliser strength.
  • Pest damage: Inspect undersides regularly for spider mites and thrips.

Scented elephant-ear foliage indoors

Alocasia odora 'California' is toxic if chewed. Place it away from pets and children, and handle sap with care.

Odora name and California form

The genus name Alocasia is formed in relation to Colocasia. The species epithet odora comes from Latin and refers to fragrance, a name connected with the scented inflorescences of the species.

A warm, bright pot gives Alocasia odora 'California' the room to build its broad green canopy.

Smells wonderful
I'm not sure how to judge if it is actually extending my tan. However, I do love the scent and texture.

Good lotion, doesn't smell great.
Lotion feels nice on the skin and is fairly moisturizing. The scent leaves something to be desired. I was hoping it would smell more beachy or vacation-esque, but the scent is light and slightly pungent.

No bad tanning lotion
I love how hydrating this product is but I’m not sure if it really helped with my tan. It does have a very subtle smell and the ingredients seem to be relatively good
