Alocasia Odora 'Batik Blizzard' Elephant Ear

Alocasia Odora 'Batik Blizzard' is a variegated selection of the giant upright elephant ear, Alocasia odora. Instead of solid green, each large arrow-shaped leaf carries an irregular splash of cream, pale yellow, and mint green over a deep green base, so no two leaves look quite the same.

It grows as an erect, herbaceous perennial from a tuberous rhizome, with the vigorous habit typical of the species. As a houseplant it stays a manageable size in most homes, and the variegated tissue holds its pattern best with bright, indirect light rather than direct sun, which can scorch the paler sections. Treat it as a houseplant across nearly all of the country, since its outdoor tolerance depends heavily on climate and growing conditions.

'Batik Blizzard' makes a striking specimen for a bright room or a plant collector's shelf. Browse the rest of our Houseplants collection for more easy-care picks, and check the Nature Hills Garden Blog for more indoor growing guides. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
