Alocasia calidora

Alocasia calidora is a striking tropical plant known for its large, dramatic foliage and bold presence. Here's an overview of how to grow it, along with its characteristics, native range, and other details:

Plant Description

  • Common Name: Alocasia Calidora (also known as Elephant Ear or Giant Taro).

  • Family: Araceae

  • Leaf Description: Alocasia calidora has large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with a rich dark green color. The leaves can be quite dramatic in Size, often giving the plant its distinctive "elephant ear" appearance.

  • Stem: The stems are thick and can grow tall, supporting the massive leaves. The plant's stature gives it a dramatic, tropical look.

  • Flower: While not as commonly noticed, the plant can produce an inflorescence with a spathe and spadix, similar to other Alocasia species. However, it’s the foliage that is most valued.

Growth Zone

  • USDA Hardiness Zone: 9-11. This means that it thrives in warm, humid climates and is ideal for growing outdoors in tropical and subtropical areas. If you live in a region with cooler temperatures, you can grow it indoors year-round or as a seasonal outdoor plant.

Height and Width

  • Height: Alocasia calidora can grow to 6-8 feet (1.8–2.4 meters) in height when grown in optimal conditions.

  • Width: The plant's leaves can spread out, creating a width of about 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters) across.

Uses

  • Ornamental: Alocasia calidora is primarily used as an ornamental plant due to its impressive, large, and glossy foliage. It works well in tropical gardens, as a focal point in landscaping, or as a dramatic indoor plant.

  • Indoor Plant: It can be grown indoors in large pots, where it makes an excellent statement piece for spaces with enough light and humidity.

  • Landscaping: Used in tropical or subtropical gardens, it adds bold contrast and texture to a garden or patio space.

Native Range

  • Alocasia calidora is native to Southeast Asia, including areas like the Philippines, Indonesia, and parts of Malaysia. It thrives in warm, humid tropical environments, where it can grow in rich, well-draining soil, typically in areas that receive partial to full sunlight.

Growing Tips for Alocasia Calidora

  1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so indirect light is preferable.

  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top few Inches of soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Alocasia calidora prefers high humidity, so misting or using a humidifier can be beneficial.

  3. Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter is ideal. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.

  4. Temperature: This plant thrives in temperatures ranging from 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It’s sensitive to cold temperatures and should be brought indoors if the temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

  5. Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

  6. Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth, but avoid cutting the main stem unless absolutely necessary.

By mimicking its natural, tropical environment as closely as possible, you can enjoy this stunning plant indoors or outdoors.

Our dogs hurt their mouths chewing these bones
Color: Purple & Blue
I don't do a lot of reviews because I realize many are objective opinions. However, in this case I felt it was necessary to warn others. Our dogs are aggressive chewers. Their last rubber bones (not these) which we've purchased before, and recently purchased again, were destroyed quickly. Chunks of rubber came off the ends. Since those didn't hold up like they used to, I found these harder bones hoping they would last longer. They were able to gnaw into the hard plastic within a few minutes. This created sharp edges that cut their mouths. When I saw a bit of blood on the bones, I took them away from the dogs and threw them away. I wondered why they quit chewing on them after being so excited at first. Also, these are hard enough to damage a tooth.

Pups have shown zero interest in these toys….
Color: Purple & Blue
I would agree that these are indestructible being neither of my dogs have shown any interest in these at all. At this rate they should last forever…

Durable but losses interest
Color: Purple & Blue
My dog is an aggressive chewer. She was interested in this toy while it was new, but soon after lost interest. Good news is although it took a beating it did not break or splinter. If soppy toys are disposable in your house, give it a try.

Great for Excessive Chewers and Eaters
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I decided to get the Kong Extreme toy for my then 9-year-old dog in Sept. 2010, after her older sister passed away a few days before. I figured we both could have used the distraction. I learned ages ago that most toys couldn't hold up against my two Australian Cattle Dogs, since they didn't just happily gnaw on things, they'd try to eat it. In fact, they tried to eat a number of things, from fabrics to meticulously eating the lining off tennis balls and soft balls. Nothing was safe, especially against the youngest, who has some OCD issues. I'd be lucky to see a tough toy last a day, much less a month. Like the rest, I didn't think this toy would stand a chance, but it's still holding up well almost a year later. My dog isn't a strong chewer, like a doberman or pit, but very meticulous. She and her sister would go at something for hours if you let them, until nothing was left. Because of this, I also need to choose soft toys, rather than something hard, because she'll wear her teeth down if you let her. Fortunately, this manages to stand up to her obsessive chewing, but it also doesn't wear the teeth down, which I love. I'm thinking of getting a new one, even though the current could probably last another few months. I'm just now seeing some wear along the seams, despite her every effort to conquer and destroy it. I'm mainly getting it just to be on the safe side, so that I don't risk it falling apart while I'm not watching her, and just for the sake of cleanliness. These are extremely durable and easy to clean. They do have a strong odor when you first open them up, but it fades relatively quickly. I let ours soak it in hot/vinegar water for a while, then rinsed it well and left it out in the sun for a few hours. Seemed to help a little. They can also be loud when dogs chew on them, which can be annoying if you're trying to watch TV, but I find it well worth it, even if my partner doesn't agree during football time. I love the fact that these toys bounce unpredictably, although I would be careful around furniture if you plan to bounce it off the floor or toss it. I got into the habit of using it down our long hallway, referring to it as Dog Bowling, which she loves. She also didn't need food as incentive to get into it (just me playing with it and making it out to be a big deal), which is great, since that just means less cleaning and less weight gain in my book, although I do put treats in it now and then, if my partner and I are leaving the house and plan to be gone awhile. My dog's around around 30 lbs. and is medium sized, but has had no trouble tackling the larger-sized version, which was the only size available through Amazon at the time. I may get the medium-sized toy soon, just because she's reaching 10 and she'll go at it for ages. This is a great toy for obsessive chewers in particular, and I highly recommend it to dog lovers. I just wish we'd found out about them sooner! I'm also happy to report that she has stopped chewing on random things), like blankets and clothing, as much as she used to. If she does start up, it's because she can't find her Kong. I may also get the bone version and will review on that if I do.

Great buy
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Definitely recommend. My new rescue has chewed though I can’t even tell you how many “indestructible” toys in under 10 minutes. Not this! We’ve had it a few days and she loves it. Hasn’t chewed through it at all and it literally keeps her busy for an hour at the minimum. Would buy again. Great quality for the price and made to last. Perfect for aggressive chewers.
