Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear (Caladium praetermissum)
Common Names: Alocasia Hilo Beauty, Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear, Caladium Hilo Beauty
Looking for a bold and unique houseplant to make a statement? The Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear (Caladium praetermissum) is a stunning ornamental perennial that captivates with its one-of-a-kind variegated foliage. With large, heart-shaped leaves speckled in shades of lime green, pale white, and soft blue-green, this plant resembles an artist’s masterpiece—each leaf displaying a unique camouflage-like pattern. Paired with bluish-black stems, the contrast is striking, making this a must-have for any plant collector or interior décor enthusiast.
What Makes Hilo Beauty Special?
Spectacular Camouflage-Like Foliage
- The highly variegated leaves set this plant apart from any other houseplant. The lime green and pale white speckles dance across each leaf, creating an almost paint-splattered effect.
- Its irregular blotched pattern is different on every leaf, making each plant uniquely beautiful.
Tropical Elegance for Any Space
- With its large, heart-shaped leaves and bluish-black stems, the Hilo Beauty brings an exotic, lush vibe to any indoor setting.
- Whether displayed as a focal point on a plant stand or among other tropical plants, it adds a touch of sophistication and wild beauty to any collection.
Moderate Size, Big Impact
- Unlike some Elephant Ear plants that grow overwhelmingly large, Hilo Beauty stays within two to four feet tall, making it perfect for indoor spaces while still offering impressive foliage.
A Collector’s Favorite
- This plant is a rare and highly sought-after addition to houseplant collections, thanks to its uncommon variegation and distinctive color palette.
Interesting Facts About Hilo Beauty
- Often Mistaken for Alocasia or Colocasia: Though commonly labeled as an Alocasia Hilo Beauty, this plant is actually a Caladium species with its own unique characteristics.
- Camouflage Effect: Its speckled leaf pattern resembles camouflage, earning it the nickname “Camo Plant” among collectors.
- Thrives in Humidity: Native to tropical environments, this plant loves warm, humid conditions, making it a great addition to bathrooms or greenhouse-style setups.
- Goes Dormant in Winter: Like other Caladiums, Hilo Beauty may go dormant during the colder months, shedding its leaves and regrowing in spring.
Why You’ll Love Hilo Beauty in Your Home
- A bold and unique aesthetic that adds personality and vibrancy to any space.
- Moderate size makes it easy to fit into indoor environments.
- Complements other tropical plants like Alocasias, Philodendrons, and Monsteras.
- A great conversation starter due to its unusual variegated foliage.
Care Tips for Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some shade but may lose variegation in low light.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray will help maintain proper conditions.
- Temperature: Very sensitive to cold. Keep above 60°F (16°C) at all times and protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Soil: Well-draining, rich soil with organic matter. A light, airy mix, such as an aroid mix, works best.
- Dormancy: May enter dormancy in winter, during which watering should be reduced, and leaf loss is normal before regrowth in spring.
Key Benefits of Hilo Beauty
- Striking foliage makes it a standout plant in any collection.
- Moderate size allows for easy placement in both small and large spaces.
- Helps improve indoor air quality.
- Complements modern, tropical, and bohemian décor styles.
Is Hilo Beauty Pet-Friendly?
This plant is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Like other Caladiums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if chewed. It is best to keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children.
Why It’s a Great Purchase
The Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear is not just another houseplant—it is a showstopper. With dramatic camouflage-patterned leaves, bold contrast, and tropical charm, this plant can transform any indoor space. Whether for an experienced collector or a new plant enthusiast, Hilo Beauty is a rare and exciting addition that offers both beauty and character.
This unique and exotic plant is in high demand, making it a perfect addition to any plant lover’s home.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟
This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens.
The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him.
I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure.
My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times.
Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️
I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well.
Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on.
Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc?
However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy.
Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book.

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book.
I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days.
To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness.
The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted.
This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark.
Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
