Maintenance guide
Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Colocasia Waikiki thrives in bright, filtered light: too much direct sun may scorch its leaves. Outdoors, place it in partial shade for best results.
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during summer. This plant thrives in constant humidity and can even adapt to slightly soggy soil, making it perfect near ponds or water features.
Fertilize regularly with a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) to support its colorful foliage and vigorous growth.
Remove damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth. Bring the plant indoors if temperatures drop below 54–59 °F (12–15 °C).
