Some know me as the African Mask plant, but I'm not one for parties, so maybe keep me away from the masquerade ball. I thrive in tropical vibes—warmth, humidity, and just the right amount of water, please! Combine me with the ZZ Plant for your own little African jungle right on your home office desk.

Key attributes

Defined by its deep green leaves, which are accentuated by whitish or light green veins. The leaves are roughly serrated, and in some cases, the leaf color appears as an almost purple-green. Amazonian elephant ear plants rarely bloom (especially indoors), and are grown primarily for their eye-catching foliage.

  • Bright, indirect, filtered sunlight.
  • Water moderately, allow the top 3cm of soil to dry.
  • Not so pet friendly.

Your new Amazonian Elephant Ear comes in three sizes and could grow up to approximately 60cm in height.

Small: 10cm-20cm in height. Single planted in a 118mm black nursery pot.

Medium: 15cm-25cm in height. Multi planted in a 140mm black nursery pot.

Large: 20cm-30cm in height. Multi planted in a 200mm black nursery pot.

Please note our decorative pots are sold separately.

Care mode

Pretty easy to grow they like filtered sun or shade and rich, moist soil. They thrive in warm temperatures and high humidity and crave plenty of water. Remember to trim yellowing lower leaves to encourage new growth and in winter this indoor plant may become dormant.

Feeding your indoor plants

To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!

We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
