Colocasia 'Maui Gold' Care Instructions
Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct morning sun, but avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.
Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during hot weather. Loves humidity and can tolerate wet conditions better than dry ones.
Soil:
Use rich, well-draining soil. A mix of loam and organic matter like compost works well.
Temperature:
Thrives in warm temperatures (above 15°C / 60°F). Protect from frost—this plant is not cold-hardy.
Feeding:
Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage strong growth.
Placement:
Ideal for garden borders, pondsides, or large containers. Can also grow indoors with ample light and humidity.
Winter Care:
In cooler climates, either bring indoors before frost or lift and store the tubers in a cool, dry place until spring.
