Taro / Elephant Ear Plant, 1x Rhizome (Colocasia Esculenta)
Insane leaves of gigantic proportion, with magical water repelling coating.
Colocasia can be deciduous or evergreen, tuberous-rooted perennials with giant arrow-shaped or rounded leaves, often prominently veined; flowers are minute, on a spadix held within a small white spathe, but are seldom produced in cultivation.
A truly tropical plant grown primarily in Asia for its edible corms, a root vegetable most commonly known as taro, kalo, dasheen or godere. It is the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the family Araceae that are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Taro corms are a food staple in African, Oceanic, and South Asian cultures, and taro is believed to have been one of the earliest cultivated plants.
