I adore Colocasias, they're my top 3 genus of plant. That being said, I don't keep them as houseplants, I've found they really dislike being indoors AND they attract spidermites like no other plant I've ever had. I use them in the garden, and that's really when they look the best in my opinion. I do think people are going to be disspointed in these new hybrids when they get their hands on them, BECAUSE they're so annoying to grow indoors, you really do need HIGH light, and tons of nutrient and water to keep these guys in tip top shape. I always buy/order them in packs of tubers,it's a gamble because there are times where you order something and get something else because they often get mixed up, but these really are plants you should buy as tubers and save mad money on.
Do you grow in leca or some soil combo?
I agree.
Alocasia and colocasia struggle with me indoors but thrive outdoors in the summer. I also thought they are perennial so they go dormant in the winter like a birch tree or a Venus fly trap. I'm not an expert just a nerd.
I can confirm all this i live in gabon (africa) in a humid and hot climate. No lower than 23 degrees at night. And they prefer full sun in a high humidity area. They do attract spidermites just like alocasias. They like having a deep rich dense soil to grow in and to not get over watered but stay moist. If you are growing them huge indoor props to you.
I grow Colocasias inside here in central Florida. They grow fine. I’ve had to kick some outside cause they get to big. I collect them.
@@spoochymcgoo1616 Very rich soil with perlite/pumice, but they can be grown in just straight up water, which is most common when they're grown for food.
Would be awesome to get a fern rare plant index! Great video as always. Very excited for next week.
I don't care about Colocasia at all--I just love listening to Kaylee talk! Relaxing and funny!
And amazing new HD eyebrows ,,, I need some lol 😜
@Kaylee Ellen - in Hawaiian “WAI” sounds like “WHY” So Waikiki is “WHY-Kee-Kee” (Wai means “fresh water” btw) and Colocasia are called Taro here, and are a huge part of the culture as they where a main food source during the pre contact period. I have a bunch of “black Ruffles” and they have the coolest subtle color patterns on their leaf.
Kalo all day!! I eat taro at least once a week 🤣 deff still most locals regular diet. Kaylee should deff come down and learn pa’i’ai basics 🤗
I wish I had appreciated these more when I was home. All these amazing plants I grew up with that I just ignored cause they were just everywhere! I miss home so much
We need an updated monstera rare plant index!
Thank You 🙏 for the time that you take to make each of your video’s...I appreciate them, you and Ben.
Wishing you both and anyone reading this post much happiness, peace and kindness into your life. 💜
I bought 5 taro corns from the produce section of a grocery store last year for around $3. They grew into huge elephant ears. They are just the basic green colocasia. But for landscaping purposes it was a very cheap way to make a massive impact
Tip - They need to be started indoors a couple months before the last frost. It’ll take frustratingly long. Put them in soil in a warm place & keep the soil lightly damp. No light is needed until they break the soil. If you’re patient, they will sprout & be very rewarding 🌱
Edit, I got a white lava plug last year. It barely got any white veins after a full season outside. I also got one of the black varieties as a plug. Both plugs really struggled to thrive. By the end of the season they were about 1.5ft tall with 4”-6” leaves. By contrast, the green taro I grew from corms were easily 5ft tall with 3ft+ leaves, absolutely massive. I suspect that plugs will need several seasons worth of babying to establish corms & really go gang busters like when you start from a large corm
They could have been diseased. If they aren’t growing crazy fast chances are, they are not getting enough sun, it’s not hot enough outside, or they have mosaic virus/ something else. I guarantee you that a lot of the varieties that have disfigured leaves are bred with virus. And if that’s the case, any aroids you plant nearby or in that spot or pot will also catch it. Sanitation with bleach, and cleaning your tools is really really important. Please learn from my mistake. I lost tons of aroids from mosaic virus.
Wow! this is so cool that Brians pharoahs mask made it to your list! We live right next to his greenhouses and when we toured them he was kind enough to show us one of his that was going to be tissue cultered. He has amazing plants!
I really love Pharaoh's mask! It's weird and creepy and awesome.
Most of these you can easily find in Florida some are even in big box stores.
The starlight is on my list now. Amazing! 😍
Definitely on my list after this video!
I want a Pharaoh's Mask real bad.... but I don't have the $80 the only seller I've seen on my island that has it is asking for. 😭💔
Can we talk about "Starlight"! Like can we talk about where to buy?! That one hits all the marks for me! I also have an order in for the Waikiki, and I am so excited to see it in your video! I am so excited you did colocasia! I am obsessed with them! I would love you to do a colocasia investment video! Thank you!
The Waikiki was gorgeous 🥰
The starlight is probably my fave too
It's everything thrown in in the best of ways. 😍
colocasia starlight baby cost around 10k USD
Colocasia mojito is extremely common in the U.S. A lot of these are, actually.
Especially in FL or Hawaii.
It's sold here in Illinois but everyone snaps them up so quickly that it feels like they arent.
Anyone who wants the big colocasia, yes you want to dig the corms and store them inside. I keep mine in a pot outside, cut them back, leave them in soil, and bring them inside then set aside in a dark spot of my house until spring
I *love* my colocasia pharoah's mask, it really loves the light (or direct sun). I use a sansi 36w bulb on it, and it is always reaching towards it, the stems only stop elongating once its about a hand length away from the light. Can confirm that it is a prolific grower
Oh man I’ve been wanting a pharaohs mask for a while! I’ve also seen them as “devils rib cage” and I LOVE that. I’d definitely love to grab one from you when you drop them.
As someone who has isopods as pets the Colocasia isopoda is incredibly cool!!! I didn't know this existed!!!
I always say my love these veining patterns is because of these
Diamond Head is readily available here (deep south US) during the growing season, and what that image doesn't portray is how there is a literal crystal sheen overlaid on top of each leaf.
Hawaiian punch is also readily available here - have several clumps myself and they are a beautiful vigorous grower.
Same with Mojito here as far as availability - they have a satin overlay on the leaf. Quite muted, and very worth having.
White lava and tropical storm - easy to find here, Tropical storm is one of my favorites to grow due to its beauty and contrast - no velvet, rather more of a flat overlay - sorry Kaylee :(
Jellyfish looks sick... like its too hot and it cant deal. NO. lol
Im surprised Electric blue gecko didn't make it. I have one, changes colors throughout the day, sometimes deep purple, sometimes electric blue and shiny - beautiful.
This Genus is a "quick-bucks" genus for the reasons you stated - totally agree. The growth rate and ease of propagation would definitively drive market value down rapidly. If grown properly a quart sized plant can well over quadruple in size within a single growing season with any member of the genus. For this reason, I would never pay more than $30 USD for any start of these plants.
They need direct sun, rich biodiversity in the soil, heat, loads of water with rapid drainage unless grown on the edge of a body of water, and loads of nutrients and TADA... giant colocasia.
Also, last note: Some members of this genus will clump, while others will run via stolon.
Yep! I’m in the deep south US and a lot of these varieties (and except for the super rare, of course) can be found at any of our local nurseries. I love Midori Sour, I didn’t see that one here.
I grow most of mine in water, and they can be found in ditches all around. I find that’s where they do best with some regular fertilizing.
I pay around that price wholesale for tiny babies of the wholesale "Waikiki" from the patent holder. "Pharaoh's Mask" is also super expensive, patented, and so the propagating easily point sadly goes out the window for some of them.
Yes, another proud member of the "Deep South Club" here. I'm in Arkansas, have many of these varieties. I'm sure they are rare for the UK. Mine stay outside year round, always in a constant trickle of water that is drainage of natural springs. I don't fertilize mine, I feel they get enough on their own. Their leaves on average are about 2-2.5' wide x 3-3.5' long and huge blooms. Some are in full shade and some full sun. It's the water that makes the world of difference! Mine in water are up out of the ground now, the ones in dry ground have not yet peeked out at all.
@@perseffany, direct to Brian’s Botanicals was affordable. I usually buy clearance, it’ll Linley be compost from Lowes types of stores, but this one is going strong from last season.
I think I go out every hour and take pics of my diamond head every time it puts on a new leaf. So gorgeous.
If anyone reading this wants a fun project, or wants to see how some of these plants would fare in your home, go to the grocery store and pick up some taro corms! Here in the United States there are three species sold as taro: eddoe (Colocasia antiquorum), looks like a brown egg in terms of size/shape; taro (Colocasia esculenta), looks like a giant version of eddoe; malanga AKA yautía (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), looks like a brown cucumber. Of the three, the first is the most common, and the latter two are usually only seen in Asian grocery stores. Grocery store labeling and even the Google search results mix them up frequently. All three have cultivars which are popular in the ornamental plant trade. For example, C antiquorum 'Illustris' and C esculenta 'Hawaiian Punch' both mentioned in this video. The most common cultivar of X sagittifolium in the houseplant trade seems to be X sagittifolium 'Mickey Mouse.'
Taro and lemon grass…I can’t cook but I know why to shop at the Asian stores
great advice. Thanks!
The leaf coloration is both based on how much sun the plant gets, and also the newest leaves are the most colorful; the older ones generally fade in color a little bit. I think a lot of the varieties that look similar also are different heights.
One thing I have to say about Colocasia, they do NOT like to dry out. Not in the least. I live in Miami and I keep mine outdoors. Needless to say, the outdoor humidity here is ridiculously high. Regardless, it was a huge learning curve for me as they kept wilting no matter what I did. I finally put them in a rather large saucer in order for them to never dry out. That was the trick! So they are potted in soil and live on a tray of water, basically a semi-hydro situation. And they absolutely LOVE it!! I have no idea how people can plant these in the ground 🤷🏻♀️
I keep mine outside in the nursery pot with a cover pot to hold water and bring inside for winter. (In Illinois.) It means I split it a lot but oh well. I just tore down a shed and am contemplating a colocasia garden but idk if I'll put them in the ground.
I really like the Pharaohs Mask. Very different. If I had the space I would most likely go for the Mojito or something else with a high contrast between dark and green.
I’ve had the Mojito for 4 years. Each generation of pups seems to get lighter without the beautiful contrast.
I believe much like caladiums, colocasia, most of them require a dormancy. More heat , humidity, Light and Water. Unless you live in a tropical climate they are best as an outdoor summer display plant, and then dug up and stored in a cool dry place until temperatures go above 60 Fahrenheit
your videos are always so entertaining & informative keep slaying Kaylee
string of things could be a short plant index
just a suggestion
Great video! Very informative! I would love a rare plant index about tradescantia!
I love all your rare plant indexes, and I love colocasia, so this was an absolute pleasure! Interesting plants, I love that the esculenta sp are edible - pretty and delicious, what's not to love!! lol!
The pharaoh's mask - LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you Kaylee for another great Rare Plant Index! I love these videos and appreciate the effort you put into making them. I look forward to your uploads each week. :) Oh, and your eyeshadow looked fantastic! Happy Friday!
Omgosh that colocasia pharaoh's mask is incredible! It looks like if H. R. Giger designed a tropical plants!
Trust me. Become the Host!
I'm not too into a lot of these colocaisas but I would get a jellyfish one to go along with my stingray alocasia. I think those would be cute together ❤
I came across a Sport variegated Black Magic in a nursery last year & popped it into a 12 inch pot inside of a 14 inch cover pot (to keep it semi-aquaticly) AND IT OUTGREW THAT POT IN LIKE A MONTH. I was too lazy to repot again so I left it, & the roots were crazyyyyy. They grow so insanely fast & large. Keep water in the bottom but dont submerge the bulb
I’ve never been a colocasia lover, but it was cool to see so many varieties I’d never heard of. Love all rare plant index vids
This whole time watching this and KNOWING you’re talking about Colocasia, my brain still reverts to Caladium based on how they ALL look and how quickly Caladiums grow. I was about to mention one you “missed” and realized duh it’s a Caladium that’s why. I’ll say it now that I brought it up anyway... Marie Moir❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same lol
I bought a very immature Thai giant colocasia in October and have grown it up indoors all winter under grow lights. I find it does well with high heat and humidity and well draining soil. It suffered yellow leaves and root rot when I used a more dense soil that held too much water. When it’s happy it puts out new leaves very fast. Once we get past our frost date it’s going to go outside.
Pharaoh's Mask - Yes, I got one from YOUR shop, it was on my wish list for 2 years and now I have it... in a rehab process ;-) Greetings from France!
Oh my goodness, Diamond Head and Mojito are available at every garden center here. They’re sold as outdoor plants! (from the US).
I think it depends on where in the US. I'm in the SW and have definitely not seen these.
Yeah.. I'm in Florida and my local nursery has decent sized Mojito for about $20.
Thank you so much for working so hard to create these types of videos. They’re my favorite videos you make and they highly influence my plant collection and I really hope you get the recognition you deserve from these because I feel like no one thinks about the hard work put into these. You’re amazing
Colocasias corms, especially the Mojito, are sold in abundance at Walmart here in the US.
A nice mix of Maui Sunrise and Tropical Sunrise is Nancy’s Revenge (I think that’s correct name) at Brian’s Botanicals
I have a Nancy's revenge. (Love the name.) It kind of reminds me of a white lava too.
Many are really,really cool! I would want the Pharaoh.............. bit creepy,very "organic" and just way interesting.
Colocasia have, since I can remember, been one of my favorite plants. Same with its cousin the caladium. I just love a good elephants ear. I have the mojito and it’s gorgeous and gets massive! It’s winterized rn but I’m about to wake it up soon same with all my caladiums too 😍 can’t wait!
Woohoo thanks for doing a video on my suggestion!
Earlier in the video in response to the jellyfish one - "nah, the unfurled leaves and droopy foliage is not for me."
Introduce the Pharaoh's Mask.... 😍
Same! I just commented that I don’t like the droopy leaves and now I’m eating my words because pharaohs mask is gorgeous!
Pharoah's Mask looks prehistoric..Love It
Hmm i picked up 2 colocassias last summer at a big box store. They crapped the bed pretty dramatically then went dormant. However one 's petioles just kept growing and growing and growing to the point i had to stake them to keep them from collapsing. Finally started pushing pups the past few weeks, i cant wait till they mature!
I looove my fontanesii, mine has darker leaves than the photos I see online, they are also quite thick and quite large. Also the color of the black coral pairs very nicely with it, it’s leaves are slightly smaller than the fontanesii and thinner, and it has been burned by the sun in a couple spots. (I live in a very hot place) I’m a sucker for dark foliage but that Waikiki is definitely one I’d buy if I saw it at a local nursery!
Ive grown several varieties but My favs are black magic and mojito colocasia. I have them in huge pots on my patio. They come back every year. Im in zone 7b Virginia Beach.
Colocasia Elepaio also called Milky Way is an easy to grow stable variegate. It is one of the colocasia that likes alot of water. Here in Florida I grow it in pots in 100% peat and keep it wet. It makes alot of offsets. It is about 20.00 for a 4 inch pot. Really striking.
My mind is just blown, what a slept on genera!!
I have scoliosis, and had surgery when I was 12, some days I'm so crooked you can really tell. My husband sometimes will grab both shoulders and realign me. Or he will push on my ribs where my curve is, honestly the best feeling ever. Like pressure just disappears in places around my torso. Great feeling, also reminds me I have to work out more ...it helps. Good luck! Hope you don't have to wear a brace!
I have tons of the fontenesii in my garden and they go mad! Popping up everywhere! Love the black stems and the leaves are gorgeous. Can’t wait to add some of these other gorgeous varieties to my garden
Wow, that Colocasia Witchery 😍. I love this series of videos. I learn so much from you!
Your smokey nude eyeshadow is BANGIN, girl!! *chefs kiss*
I would certainly love another video about plants that we could invest in. Loved the ones from last year
Oh I forgot she asked about that. Definitely would love another video on investment plants.
Colocasia Kaylee most beautiful
Everyone in Hawaii cringing at kaylees pronunciation of Waikiki 😂
I think I remember you covered the Monstera Deliciosa Wonder aka Tricolor in one of your videos quite recently. In comparison to that: what's your opinion on the Monstera Deliciosa "White Monster"? They also go for really high prices, but I can not find anything reliable about them or if they even are a real thing. I'd love you to cover this if you haven't already in some form 😊
popcorn is done, now lets watch! ❤️
Thank you, Kaylee! This was great. The creepy goth / veiny guys are super cool. And the teacup is adorable. But that Waikiki is gorgeous. 😍 Honestly that's probably my favorite of them all.
...I'm kind of here for the Helboy, oddly. Did not expect to like it but that's why these are so fun - you get to see the spectrum of what's out there and find out if you like it. Thanks as always!
(I love your eyeshadow!)
I plant my taro bulbs in straight compost. They grow super fast and are hungry. Elephant ears have been a favorite of mine since childhood. I also grow them outside and let the foliage die back in the fall and store the bulbs. I’m in Michigan, so it’s way too cold to just leave them outside.
Amazing BUT can we get a DREACENA/SANSEVERIA RPI?
I would love to see a 2022 investment plant video! I would get a lot of value out of a video like that.
Currently I’m trying to guess at what hits the spot, currently some odd balls are in the lead.
Honestly I think that the teacup is so cute! That's probably the only one on the list I'd get.
The Witchery one is also very pretty but... not for that price. I could buy myself a new boat or car for that, maybe even a boat *and* a car
Mojito are at Walmarts in the USA. This is wild to see just how things can vary or change over night.
I was thinking the same my mojito was like 10$
Yep! They’re all over every Walmart and Home Depot here.
Watching this immediately before going out to buy 5 for $15 corms for the summer. My regular degular green ones last year got to 1x2 foot leaves in two months after a very slow start off dormant corms. They have gorgeous depth of green on green on green color on the leaves up close. They add great tropical vibes for cheap in my decidedly temperate garden, so much that I've already ordered a few novelty varieties and am desperately looking for a specific cultivar as a Mother's Day gift for my Mom.
Rewatching this is 2024
I just bought a juvenile colocasia redemption for 16 euros,. 2 years ago the same plant ''this costs 11 THOUSAND dollars''. Crazy how the market works. I also got a juvenile pharaoh's mask for the same price.
I LOVE the Pharaoh's Mask! It's STUNNING irl!!!!!
😍 😍😍😍😍😍
I fall in love with almost every alocasia and the first colocasia I like on this list is the mojito, why do colocasia seem to underwhelm me so much? it doesn’t make sense I fully expected to have a massive list of colocasia that I would want. But that hasn’t happened
I received a ginormous pharaohs mask that did look stunning(located in Canada) it came in just before winter and I knew it would hate life throughout winter and it it did so I collected all of its babies and sent them around Canada(I’m a true believer in making plants rare or not available to everyone who wants one) I absolutely love my pharaohs mask I have one that I kept and water propagated it and it’s done amazing I need to switch to soil before it hates me lol
Pharaohs's mask, hands down. By far. I immediately saw a prehistoric, venomous sort of centipede, the size of a bobcat. Damn. That is one cool plant.
I ve got two bulbs of Colocasia White Lava, and a Mojito! Got them from a UK shop Farmer Gracy in good price. I potted them indoors currently under grow lights and waiting for them to hopefully wake up 🙂 since it's freezing temperatures in Greece. Colocasias are great plants and that Pharaoh's Mask is AMAZING! I definitely would love to have one if the price is right.
So many plants I've never seen! Thanks for a fun index. If Waikiki is referencing the place in Hawaii, "why-kee-kee" is the better pronunciation.
I have a colocasia illustris and the dark colour comes with the light. The more light it gets the darker the leaves will emerge :)
In the US the mojitos have popped up in Walmart! They are selling the bulb and I bought two. I can’t wait for them to grow 😍
I live in a tropical place and most of common colocasia i see survive in a gutter and colocasia pahroh mask only cost like about £15-20 per one big pot.
*30:54* this was so random but it cracked me up so baddddd BAHWHAWHABAH
Love your RPI vbideos!! Please please please do pothos, sansevieria, and rhipsalis!!!!!
LOVE THESE THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Kaylee Ellen, I have an excellent picture of an early leaf next to a mature leaf. It is the most excellent risk I have ever taken.
I love your videos!waiting for next weeks!!
Always love your content!!! 💚💚💚
I would love to watch a video about Caladiums ❤ Your videos are great
I bought a mojito tuber once and it died in lecca. I was sooo sad because I love it so much!! 😭
They're quite inexpensive coming from the Netherlands
Another one?! This fast?!?! We truly are spoiled 🙌
I genuinely wasn't very much into Colocasia before I got my first one. We do have a few specimens of the ''Mojito'' in my school's greenhouse, so I ended up snatching a corm, brought it back home and man does it grow fast! I love a rewarding plant, especially since I mostly collect Philodendron, Alocasia and Monstera which are slow growers for the most part...
''Pharaoh's Mask'' was already on my wishlist but I've now added the ''Nebula'' and ''Witchery'' cultivars to it. Let's hope that they end up being affordable at some point!
I have to say that I love Colocasia. I've had a few. The issue that I have with these plants is that they are Spider mite magnets!!! Every single one that I had was destroyed by these pest. Its very stressful having to constantly be watchful. For this reason, besides the absurd cost of some of these, I would never own one again. Sad, because I really love them. Thank you for the video, I didn't know some of these existed. Great video!
I actually saw Hawaiian Punch and the one before that with the pink stems for sale at Lowes ,well the tubers, . Lowes is a big box store in the US.
A very intresting video thanks
Tea cups are still hot on market but the problem with them is spider mites doesn’t matter time of year or environment.
Thank you for the information, you must review about C. Burning Inferno. That is really gorgeous.
That Mojito one I bought front Lowes for 8$ for a single bulb LOL…but I do love it 😊
I love Brian’s Botanicals. I’m super lucky i. That he’s a short drive from home! He and his Lady are very welcoming and friendly♥️ even better, his plants are amazing a ship amazingly well! I haven’t seen the video yet, but I’d drop my life on that’s his Redemption 🖤
Whoa, the end of this video made my heart race tbh.
“MOVING ON” 🤣🤣🤣
I love colacasia as garden plants in my warm Costa Rica Weather, I grow Colacasia 'Black Magic' or 'Black Coral' in a lot of places. Recently got an ilustris and it's amazing. The Thai Giant I think it looks a lot like Xanthosomas that grow native here, so I don't grow anything like that :P What I think is most of the times Colacasias generally don't do so well in pots for me, I think they grow the best in the garden on special moist places.
Pink Andaman is a native colocasia in Southern Thailand, i have one in my home. Btw, Psylocke is from Thailand too.
I LOVE THE PHARAOHS MASK
So do I!
The picture of black coral does not do it justice. Mine has this really cool black on black pattern, and like it has two textures on the same leaf. Also has a nice blueish/purple? sheen in sunlight
You always look incredible in your videos, but today, giiiiiirrrrrl you look immaculate! Literally glowing.
I had a tropical storm. It was ok and stayed bushy but the leaves were not as big as i would prefer.
Last year was THE year of Colocasia in my country. Everyone was so into it, the price was so high but this year nobody wants it anymore. The price dropped so much. What used to be around 1k, now is less than 100 and it's not even sold.
I've never had or heard of colocasia reverting, not to say they don't but I've been collecting them for years and I've just never heard of it. Colocasia are so much more hardy and stable than alocasias, plant market has been sleeping on "elephant ears"
How's the wall doing?
Been planning to buy a Taro root to hopefully get a big green one. Had no idea there were so many crazy colours possible on colocasias😅
