Thailand Giant Elephant Ear Live Plant - Colocasia gigantea by Wellspring Gardens - Elephant Ear Plant, Colocasia Gigantea, Elephant Ear Plant Live, Exotic Elephant Plant, Tropical Garden Design Ideas

I have never purchased a plant online, and was anxious about how the plant would handle shipping, but the sellers really know what they're doing when packing their plants. My plant arrived safely with one leaf, and while it was a bit wilted, it perked right up after a drink. I potted it in a four inch pot to start with, kept it on my shady porch for the first day, and slowly transitioned it to more direct sun over the next two days. I have not even had this plant for a full month, and it has quadrupled in size. It's now in a 10 inch pot, and the roots are quickly filling up that space. I lightly watered directly at the base of the plant once a day until it was established, and now it gets deeply watered at least twice a day - more so if it's scorching hot outside. I feed it a high quality fertilizer once weekly, and it is thriving. I'm very happy with the plant and the sellers, and will definitely purchase from them again!

This plant is a beast! I waited a month to write a review as shipping plants is always a gamble. The shipping was really fast and the plant had NO bugs! When the plant arrived, one leave was heavily damaged and the another leaf was brand new and had not yet uncurled. I was skeptical so I read up about the plant and put it in bright indirect light. It’s thriving! Within a day, the new leaf uncurled and it’s now quadrupled in size. Even the damaged leaf has rebounded and it now has 4 leaves. I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s the fastest growing plant I have indoors.

Arrived dead and so small it was a joke

Ok....it is my fault. I didn't read the advertising thoroughly. I was upset with myself but after spending a little time with this little guy, I fell in love. It is a *tiny* plant but a lot of people who have green thumbs love these little green babies and most have grew into giants. I am used to buy healthy large sized plants and this undertaking of loving a small plant is definitely not for the impatient. To take care of this baby, a lot of research must be done to accomplish its place in your garden to steal the show and it can be done. It was well packaged and it came with instructions for general care of most elephant ears. If I am not sure, I can read up on it more. The Giant Thai elephant ear came in good shape, very healthy with nothing broken and the soil was fairly moist. The customer service is very patient but please do read all the advertising so you can know what you are getting into, but you will get a small(between 3 to 6 or 8 inches) and very healthy plant, packaged with plenty of love and care.

I'm usually a bit suspicious about ordering plants online, especially overseas, and especially especially for some of the less common species that are supposed to grow quite large. I waited a few months to review this item just to be sure it was accurate but it has been growing larger and larger and faster and faster, I'm so happy with my purchase. I received it and it had one leaf that was rather small, and already the eighth leaves that it's grown is nearly a meter long and the plant totals about 5 and 1/2 ft tall (3ish months later). I live in Miami and it loves the direct sunlight. It's in a pot and loves water but if you keep it indoors you have to make sure the water is quite minimal, you don't want it to be too wet but also not too dry. Definitely recommend this one to anyone looking for a large elephant ear. Thank you!

Wellspring Gardens was unknown to me as a live plant supplier, so I decided to give them the benefit and order from them. I ordered a Thai Giant Calocasia sp. and it arrived with moist soil, a support stake, a nice humidity bag, and great instructions in the unfortunate event that the plant arrived in less than ideal conditions. After purchasing this plant, I went to their website and bought 2 more plants. After purchasing one on here, the company gave me a code for a free plant which I used almost immediately. The plants that I bought also arrived perfect and well taken care of (Alocasia sp. and a Spathiphyllum sp.). 10/10 company

My little plant came at the end of March 2024. My plant accidentally got it's leaf broken 2 times, and had to restart from the steam. It is now July 2024, and look at it now! Each new leaf is bigger than the other! The pictures are start until today. July 2024.

I was pretty disapointed when it came. Only two stems. Pretty wilted. Ill plant and hope for the best. Truly don't think it was worth the money
