Hawaiian Punch Colocasia Live Plant – 1 Starter Plant – Colocasia esculenta

Hawaiian Punch Colocasia is a tropical elephant ear plant valued for its large green foliage and colorful pink-to-red stems. It has an upright, clumping growth habit and is well suited to tropical gardens, containers, pond edges, and other moisture-rich planting areas.

This listing includes 1 live starter plant. The current nursery pot size is 3 inches, but the plant ships without the pot. The starter plant is young and will need time to establish its roots and develop fuller foliage. Color intensity can vary with light, temperature, nutrition, and growing conditions.

The plant prefers warm conditions, rich moisture-retentive soil, and consistent watering. It can grow as a perennial in warm climates and may die back after frost before returning during warmer conditions.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
