Thailand Giant Elephant Ear (Colocasia gigantea 'Thailand Giant')

Thailand Giant Elephant Ear is a massive tropical foliage plant valued for its enormous leaves, fast warm-season growth, and dramatic landscape scale. Its huge gray-green to blue-green foliage can create a lush, resort-style effect in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, moist garden beds, and tropical-style landscapes. This is one of the largest elephant ears commonly grown by gardeners, making it best suited for spaces where its size can be fully appreciated. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and sun to partial shade, Thailand Giant Elephant Ear brings bold texture and impressive height to indoor and outdoor displays.

Distinctive Features

Thailand Giant Elephant Ear produces exceptionally large, heart-shaped to arrow-shaped leaves that may reach several feet long in warm, humid, well-grown conditions. The foliage is typically dull green to gray-green or blue-green and is held on thick, sturdy petioles that support the plant's giant tropical form. It grows quickly during warm weather and can create a major focal point in a single growing season when supplied with water, fertility, and heat. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its enormous foliage and commanding presence.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in very hot or dry climates to reduce stress on the large leaves.
  • Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
  • Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 10 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 6 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, while container-grown plants may stay smaller.
  • Habit: Forms a massive upright to spreading tropical clump with huge leaves rising from the base on thick, sturdy petioles.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a giant tropical focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or spacious moist garden areas where its enormous leaves can stand out.
  • Container Planting: Grow in a very large decorative pot where its massive foliage can create dramatic summer impact and be moved or protected before cold weather.
  • Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or protected low areas where steady moisture can support strong growth.
  • Tropical Garden: Pair with cannas, bananas, caladiums, gingers, coleus, and dark-leaved elephant ears to create a lush warm-season display.
  • Backdrop Planting: Use at the back of large beds or along spacious edges where its height and leaf size can frame lower tropical and seasonal plants.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
  • Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
  • Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
  • Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the enormous ornamental leaves.
  • Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
  • Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.

Why Choose Thailand Giant Elephant Ear?

  • Enormous Foliage: Produces huge gray-green to blue-green leaves that bring unmatched tropical scale to containers and landscapes.
  • Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with impressive foliage production during the growing season.
  • Dramatic Structure: Adds height, texture, and bold architectural presence without relying on flowers for ornamental impact.
  • Moisture Loving: Performs best in consistently moist, fertile conditions where many bold tropical foliage plants thrive.
  • High-Impact Display: Creates a lush resort-style effect for patios, pool areas, large beds, courtyard plantings, and tropical garden designs.

Thailand Giant Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want tropical foliage on a truly impressive scale. Its enormous leaves, vigorous growth, moisture-loving habit, and commanding presence make it a standout plant for large containers, patios, moist garden beds, and dramatic warm-season landscape designs.

Very, very, good serum for scalp irritation.
Scent: Scalp Treatment, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Thank you to the reviewers for leading me in the right direction. My scalp was going through it. I haven’t reached to scratch my head since the first day I used this serum. The effects last a very long time, even after washing. It’s had positive effects on my hair as well, as far as manageability and growth. It moisturizes without making my scalp shiny and greasy looking and it’s light on my hair. I haven’t had a breakout on my scalp and for that reason this is the only thing that I put in my head right now.

Great mask! I use less then the recommended and
Scent: Keratin
Okay, long review here from a busy working mom. Here it goes! I have color treated hair that comes half way down my back, not really thick or thin, and wavy not curly or straight. I bought the Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner as well as the mask after seeing several hair enthusiasts telling someone that the way to help get rid of their unruly frizzy hair with our Florida humidity was a Keratin treatment. I don’t wish to spend the money on a treatment so I decided to try this set after reading product reviews. I am not disappointed! The first use and I could feel the difference of the Shampoo compared to others. It lathered nicely and left my hair feeling clean but I could tell it was leaving nourishment behind not making my hair feeling rough. Next came the conditioner. Now, since I fully intended on doing the mask right after anyways, I didn’t do my normal ritual of putting the conditioner on and leaving it for a few minutes before a cold water rinse. I simply put it on and almost immediately rinsed it out with the same temperature water I was showering in. My hair felt so soft and smooth instantly, better then other conditioners I have used and left on for lengths of time to really try to condition my hair. Just these two products are amazing but… then came the mask. I towel dried my hair as recommended and then applied the mask to my hair. I didn’t follow the guidelines of how much they said I should put in because it honestly seemed like overkill once I applied some in. If I had to guess it was probably 3/4 of an ounce to maybe and ounce when the mask directions suggests 2-4oz. I left it on for the 10 minutes without applying any heat and then cold water rinsed it. I don’t blow dry my hair so I let it dry naturally and could tell my hair was less flighty and softer. The next morning I straightened my hair and OMG! It was so soft, smooth and beautiful. People actually noticed the difference in my hair but couldn’t figure out what it was even though I proudly told them. I went all day at work (retail) without brushing my hair once. It didn’t tangle like it usually does and looked great even after going in and out of the building. I was so excited to do the next treatment (I didn’t it tonight and the decided to post this) and see what the results are (won’t really know until tomorrow) but I already know they are undoubtedly going to be amazing. How I’m going forward with my treatments, shampoos and conditioner every shower. Mask 3 times week one, 2 times week two and then hopefully once a week after that depending on if I feels like that’s enough. I was so happy with these results I had to share in case it helps someone else! Sorry again for the long review but someone needed to here it.
