Colocasia ‘Itim Kathi’

The Colocasia ‘Itim Kathi’ is a striking variety of the Colocasia esculenta, commonly known as elephant ear or taro. This plant is prized for its dramatic, dark foliage. Its large, heart-shaped leaves exhibit a deep green that transitions into almost black hues, often with a glossy, velvety texture. This unique coloration, sometimes featuring subtle purple and green undertones, creates a captivating, almost marbled effect, making it a standout in any garden or indoor collection.

‘Itim Kathi’ thrives in moist environments, reflecting its natural habitat in wetlands and riverbanks of Southeast Asia and Southern India. It prefers rich, well-draining soil and partial shade to full sun. Consistent watering is crucial to maintain soil moisture, though waterlogging should be avoided. This Colocasia variety adds a tropical, exotic touch to landscapes and containers, and while it prefers warm temperatures, it can tolerate brief periods of light frost, though it may die back in colder climates.
