Colocasia 'Black Coral' Care Instructions
Light:
Prefers partial shade to filtered sunlight. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, but too little light may reduce color intensity.
Water:
Keep the soil consistently moist. Colocasias love water and can even grow in shallow ponds. Do not let the soil dry out completely.
Soil:
Thrives in rich, well-draining soil with lots of organic matter. A loamy mix is ideal.
Temperature:
Loves warmth! Keep above 10°C (50°F). It grows best in temperatures between 18–30°C (65–85°F).
Feeding:
Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
Winter Care:
Frost-tender. Bring indoors or store tubers in a cool, dry place if temperatures drop below 10°C. In mild areas, mulch heavily to protect the root system.
