Alocasia, also known as the Elephant Ear plant, is a genus of broad-leaved, rhizomatous, or tuberous perennial plants that are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and eastern Australia. Alocasia plants are known for their large, dramatic, and often arrow-shaped leaves that can reach impressive sizes, sometimes over 1 meter in length.

There are around 70 different species of Alocasia, featuring a wide variety of leaf shapes, colors, and patterns. Common types include Alocasia amazonica, Alocasia macrorrhizos, and Alocasia 'Polly'. Alocasia are tropical plants that require warm, humid conditions to thrive. They generally prefer partial shade and consistently moist, well-draining soil. Alocasia are popular houseplants due to their dramatic, almost architectural foliage. They make excellent statement pieces, often used as focal points in indoor and outdoor gardens.
