Colocasia Pharaohs Mask

Colocasia hybrid 'Cophama' 'Pharaoh's Mask' PBR

APPEARANCE: Exotic fast-growing foliage plant bred after years of trials in Kentucky USA. Huge heart-shaped quilted-looking leaves, 40cm long, with strong black raised vein ribbing for a 3D effect.
USES: Large houseplant in a warm humid room. Suited to shady underplanting in tropical gardens. Impressing your friends who haven't got one. Wowing your IG followers. Making your neighbours jealous.
PLANTING: Plant in dappled shade, filtered light, bright light that's not direct sun all day. Colocasia plants thrive in free draining soil and warm humid air; this one can also grow in wet soils and water. Plants indoors should be placed on a washable surface or mat as the plant's leaves can drip from the tip. Protect from frost and cold draughts - although the breeder says these have come through a Sydney winter.
CARE: Water regularly during the first 12 weeks or until the plant is established. Apply liquid fertiliser at half rate every 4 weeks for best results. Remove dead leaves for a quick tidy up. Regular light watering and a daily spritz with rainwater for indoor plants will keep them looking lush. Foliage may die back during the cooler months when plants become dormant. Avoid feeding and heavy watering again until plants develop new leaves. Repot during spring only if plants become rootbound, this is the ideal time to remove and repot any young shoots which have sprouted.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 1-1.5m H x 1-1.5m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
