Calidora Upright Elephant Ear (Alocasia x 'Calidora') is a tremendous accent plant with leaves the length of a Mini Cooper. It's also incredibly easy to grow.

We're excited to offer one of the world's most incredible accent plants. If you want a plant that effortlessly heightens the impact of your plantings and containers, place this on your "must have" list.

These upright, arrow-shaped leaves are a vivid, vibrant green that will definitely catch the eye. But the Brobdingnagian size will have their jaws dropping open in wonder.

This tender corm produces huge leaves quickly over a season. Leave room for them to reach their mature size and spread listed on the Plant Highlights, especially if you grow them in the ground.

If kept in containers, they'll still be impressive but may stay a little smaller. In Zones 3 - 8, wheel them out to your patio, balcony or pool deck for a tropical summer backdrop.

Once winter hits, you can enjoy them as a showy houseplant a few feet away from a bright window. Welcome to your very own jungle!

A plant as "fancy" as Calidora Upright Elephant Ear is bound to have a lot of nicknames...and you may hear it called Upright Elephant Ear, Taro or simply Calidora. This arresting Aroid is a hybrid Alocacia, so the ginormous leaves generally point upward.

New leaves emerge like long spears and reach for the sky. Over time, the green sheath unfurls to reveal its glory.

Prominent veins only add to the overall appeal. Highly textured, this choice makes the world's best "Thriller" to use at the center of an outdoor container.

As you might imagine, these flamboyant plants will sell out quickly. Order Calidora Upright Elephant Ear from Nature Hills today for a lush setting to your summertime.

How to Use Calidora Upright Elephant Ear in the Landscape

You'll want to get the soil right for this dynamo. Alocacia likes rich soil that is evenly moist; but never sopping wet or too dry.

If you want to grow them in the ground, partner them with plants that have a similar growing requirement. Mounded Hosta would make an excellent team, as would strappy Liriope as a contrasting edging plant.

We offer so many plants for partial shade conditions. Filter your search results by Zone,height and more...then choose your favorites.

Typically, Calidora Upright Elephant Ear would be used near in the center of an island bed. The same goes for one grown as a "Thriller" in a container placed away from a wall, so you can walk all the way around it.

However, anything goes these days! Play around with your composition, and don't be afraid to break the "rules" in your own personal paradise.

A really effective way to use such a magnificent plant is to plant it at the forked juncture of a garden path. Let it obscure the way forward, and you'll increase the anticipation of what's ahead.

Containers should be at least 10 inches wide for young corms. Over time, you'll need to size up to 20 inches wide.

Use trailing or mounded plants around the edge for a soft, polished presentation. Calidora Upright Elephant Ear looks tropical, and can handle a "lot of look", so be bold with your choices!

#ProPlantTips for Care

In the hottest Zones, you should give them a little shade in the afternoon. Cooler climates allow the Calidora Upright Elephant Ears to be grown in full sun or partial shade.

Give them a humusy soil, with a few extra handfuls of compost during planting. Good soil means a happy, healthy plant...and don't forget to use a good, slow-release fertilizer according to the directions.

They'll need a moderate amount of water on a consistent schedule. Mulch to a depth of three inches, pulling it back away from the main stems.

These tender plants can't tolerate frost, so you have a decision to make if you live with cold winters. Will you keep it for one beautiful season, or dig up the corm to overwinter it?

That process is fairly simple...first trim back the foliage and dig the corm out of the ground. Remove the roots and take indoors to dry.

Store overwinter in a dark, cool place. Then, replant them after the threat of frost has passed the following spring.

Corms will grow and produce pups, which help enlarge your planting. Perhaps you could gift one to your jealous friend for their very own!.

Of course, Calidora Upright Elephant Ear can be kept in containers. Bring it inside and trim it back as a winter houseplant...without overwatering during this dormant season.

Anytime of year, you can trim back spent leaves to tidy the plant. Wear garden gloves, as your skin may display sensitivities to the oxalates in the sap.

Get your Calidora Upright Elephant Ear today, and track your package to your doorstep. WIth proper care, it won't be long before the first long leaves start to delight you.

Enjoy the journey with this unique selection. Just a word of warning...you'll wind up with a collection of these dazzling Alocacia and downturned Colocasia.

Cheap quality
Size: 11, Color: Cognac
I hardly ever leave reviews because most everything is as expected. However these shoes, although they look nice and if you apply a polish they look even better, just aren’t worth it. They are offered at a good price, but don’t live up to even that cost. As others mentioned the stitching came undone within the 2nd day of use. I had to break out the needle to put the thread back in so they wouldn’t fall apart. That problem fixed didn’t stop the issues. Within a couple more weeks of use the leather started peeling on the tip of the shoes and thus lost all future use. You would be better off buying a more expensive pair with better quality leather and stitching.

These shoes have quickly become my go-to shoes for everyday wear. First off, the fit and comfort are fantastic right out of the box — no breaking-in period needed. They feel supportive without being stiff, and I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. I really like the look too. They strike a nice balance between casual and polished, so they work with jeans, chinos, or even smart-casual outfits. The design isn’t too loud or flashy, but they still look sharp enough for dinners, errands, or work-from-home Zoom calls. One thing I love is how easy they are to slip on and off. No laces to fuss with, and the elastic stretch makes getting them on quick and easy — perfect for mornings when I’m rushing out the door. They also feel versatile. I’ve worn them for walking around town, to casual office days, and even a weekend brunch, and they’ve suited every situation without looking out of place. Overall the quality feels solid for the price — good stitching, durable materials, and so far no signs of wear after a few weeks of frequent use. Comfort, style, and convenience all in one pair. If you want casual loafers that look good and feel great without any fuss, these are definitely worth checking out.

Comfortable and Stylish, But Creasing Shows Up Fast
Size: 9.5, Color: Classic Penny Loafer-802-brown
Product: Jousen Men's Loafers Casual Slip-On Shoes Used for: 5 and a half months Key Features: – Easy slip-on design with a clean, casual style – Comfortable fit right out of the box – Sizing feels accurate with no major break-in needed Ratings: Quality: The materials feel decent and solid for the price. No immediate signs of poor construction, and overall quality seems fair. Rating: 4/5 Performance: These loafers were comfortable from the start—no discomfort during wear. However, creasing appeared fairly quickly and was quite noticeable. While that’s common with this style of shoe, it happened sooner than expected. Rating: 5/5 Value: For the price, they’re a good buy. They look good and feel great, though the quick creasing and unknown long-term durability mean they may not stand out from the many options available in this category. Rating: 4/5 Pros: – Very comfortable even with extended wear – Stylish and easy to pair with casual or slightly dressy outfits Cons: – Noticeable creasing developed quickly – Too early to say how long they’ll actually last Summary: The Jousen Men’s Loafers are a solid choice if you’re looking for an affordable, comfortable, and stylish slip-on. They deliver right out of the box and work well for daily wear or casual events. The early creasing is a downside, and their long-term durability is still a question mark—but for the price, they’re worth a shot if you’re okay with potential trade-offs. Overall Rating: 4/5 Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience using the product. I'm not an expert—just sharing my honest thoughts to help others make an informed decision.
