Colocasia 'Light Pillar' is an extraordinary, upright-growing elephant ear with massive leaves reaching up to 3 feet in diameter. Its stunning foliage features a rich green outer edge with a striking cream to pink inner coloration, creating a breathtaking contrast. Unlike sprawling Colocasia varieties, 'Light Pillar' maintains a towering, columnar form, making it an excellent choice for landscaping, tropical gardens, or large containers.

They love moisture. Keep the soil consistently damp but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during hot weather. They thrive in wet, boggy conditions and can even grow in shallow water.

Colocasia thrives in a bog-like medium that stays consistently moist. Use a pot without a drainage hole to retain water; if the pot has a hole, you’ll need to water more frequently.

Start by adding 2–3 inches of vermicompost at the base—Colocasia are heavy feeders and benefit from this nutrient boost. Then, fill the rest of the pot with garden/clay soil, leaving about 2 inches at the top to hold water.

You may optionally mix some rice husk or additional vermicompost into the garden soil to improve fertility and moisture retention, but it’s not mandatory. This setup mimics the plant’s natural habitat and promotes lush, vigorous growth.

Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. For larger leaves, use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Avoid overfeeding in winter when growth slows down.
