Plant Description

Black Taro  (Colocasia) is one of the most exotic looking plants you will find anywhere in the world! Very large, oily-black, fluted elephant ears add drama when planted in containers and placed on the patio, as a focal point in your pond, or in rows along a driveway or in front of your home. Black Taro is an amazing plant and is a SHOWSTOPPER!  Grows to 36 to 60 inches tall in full sun to part shade. Black Taro is only one of the many new and exciting plants for ponds at Pond Megastore!

Taro Height  Grows to 42 inches tall

Taro Width  18 - 24 inch spread or wider

Sunlight Requirements  Full sun to shade (Morning sun is best,  warmth at root level for good growing)

Moisture Requirements  Moist soil or up to 3 inches of water above the top of the container in the pond

Hardy in Plant zones 8 through 12, easily overwinter roots indoors in northern states. 

Taro Planting Instructions

Plant Black Taro in moist soil in your bog or terrestrial garden or place in a container using heavy loam soil and place in your pond with an inch or two of water above the top of the pot. Plant in light sunlight (morning sun) to full shade. Black Taro can be planted in loam soil for the pond or in rich, composted soil for your terrestrial garden. When planting these beauties in your flower garden, keep in mind that they will grow to 42 inches tall--so place them behind shorter varieties! Water during dry spells and fertilize once a month throughout the summer months.  Fertilize your pond plants with Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs + Humates (June through August). In the north, taro bulbs must be lifted after the first, light frost, remove spent foliage and overwinter indoors in dark, cool, dry conditions. Replant in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Add drama and excitement to your water garden this year with Black Taro!  

*Always acclimate your marginal plants in a shady area and rehydrate them for a few days before planting. Never place your marginal plants directly in the sunlight until you have acclimated and rehydrated them in a shady area for a few days.  Introduce them to full sun slowly. Make sure you plant your marginal plants in loam soil, not rocks! Never place rocks on the top of your soil in the container as this does not allow plants to grow naturally.

Power Chewer Loves This!
Size: Medium, Color: Antler
This is my dog's new favorite chew! She loves that she can hold it in her paws. I think she really loves the taste and texture of it. I don't give her antlers as I have heard too many horror stories about broken teeth. I also don't give her nylon toys as I have also heard a lot of horror stories of broken teeth as well as concerns about them digesting the plastic. This is between antlers and bully sticks, which is perfect for a power chewer. I feel comfortable with her eating the pieces that flake off this toy. She loves chewing and she will default to this toy when she wants to help calm down. I don't notice much of a smell. It does flake, but not enough I will even take a star off. Plus, it's plant based and vacuums up easily once dried. It doesn't capture her attention as much as bully sticks or beef cheek chews, but it's much less expensive over time and doesn't stink up our living room! She will also always pick this over any of her rubber chews. Great product and recommend it for all the power chewers.

Crumbly, odd texture
Size: Large, Color: Duo Pack
Neither of my dogs were very interested in these. They did chew on the antler-shaped versions more so than the infinity-style versions. When they did chew on these, they didn’t hold up well or last long. These have a strange, crumbly texture when chewed. You’ll find bits and pieces of these chews where the dogs have been chewing. Will not be reordering.

This appears to be a good alternative to the hard plastic chew toys.
Size: Large, Color: Duo Pack
My dog is a heavy chewer. I decided to try this brand out after using a different brand for quite awhile. while my dog seems to like it and carries it around (the pretzel shaped one) he doesn't seem to attack it as whole heartedly as his old brand, I'm thinking it might be the shape, we will see when he wears it out and I switch him to the antler shape. What I like most about it is it doesn't tear my hand up like the other brand did after he had been chewing it for awhile. While it is wearing down some it seems to do it in a more mild manner. Since we haven't had it long I would give this 3.5 stars because I don't know if it will last as long and not sure f it is just the shape that has him more mellow with it.

Choose your shape
Size: Medium, Color: Duo Pack
I love the idea of the dogs not eating nylabone plastic so have been searching for "healthier" options that last for heavy chewers. Two German Sherpherds, they are not big fans of the circular shaped toy but love the antler shaped one and even with both chewing on it, has not been destroyed yet and is not cutting their gums open. I am not finding pieces laying in the carpet. Recommend this
