Maintenance guide

Colocasia esculenta ‘Jack’s Giant’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Colocasia Jack’s Giant thrives in bright light and can tolerate full sun if the soil remains wet. It also grows well in partial shade with consistent moisture.

Watering

Keep the soil waterlogged, especially in summer. It adapts well to wet soils and pond edges, creating a lush exotic look.

Nutrition

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer, ideally high in nitrogen, every two weeks from spring to fall to support its spectacular growth.

Trim and care

Remove old leaves to stimulate fresh growth. Bring indoors or protect when temperatures drop below 55–59 °F (12–15 °C).
