Giant Upright Elephant Ear or Night-Scented Lily
Alocasia odora rubra
Alocasia odora rubra is a stunning large, mid-green arrow headed subtropical on tall stems.
The leaf reverse can be reddish purple in colour and fairly indistinctive.
There looks to be a load of AI generated slop colourations online…..particularly on Facebook 🙄
They have a tidy, clumping habit and are excellent to use in water gardens, water edges, bogs and bright filtered light to heavy shade. They add a really neat dramatic tropical look and are wonderfully fragrant when flowering in late Spring through Summer
These thrive in warm and humid conditions, however here in the Western Bay of Plenty they seem very happy with full sunshine as well so long as their roots have a quality moist garden mix to bed into

At Coast Palms and Cycads you will receive your plant contained in one of four different ways.
Either in a
a PB**
a plant pot
wrapped in horticultural gladwrap – usually only used for field grown specimens
in an ezylift – a woven plastic bag with handles
**PB refers to pints – 1 Pint = 600ml, as a rough guide multiply the PB number by .6 to get the volume in litres of the bag.
The number on a PB bag signifies the volume which is measured in pints of soil.
Below are some examples of how the conversion rate works..
PB 12 210mm x 185mm equivalent to 10 litres of soil
PB 18 250mm x 210mm equivalent to 12 litres of soil
Note: The height of the plant does not always correlate with bag size – it varies depending on species and the length of time the plant has been potted into a particular bag.
Height Indication
The trees are always growing so the heights change with growth.
The ‘height indication’ description is just that … an indication.
It’s mainly to give you an idea of what height the tree will be when you receive it.
We measure the height from the base of the trunk to the top of the highest leaves. We do not do a diameter spread measurement of many plants we sell except for the odd succulent or cycad.
We are currently experiencing a lot of demand for our trees so there is always pressure to put them out for sale as soon as they are bedded in the bag, this can occasionally mean they will measure smaller than the height indication shown.
