Bring bold tropical structure to your landscape with the Alocasia Portora Elephant Ear, a dramatic foliage plant prized for its towering stems and oversized green leaves. Known for its architectural presence, this Alocasia produces large upright foliage that creates an instant tropical look in patios, garden beds, and landscape borders.

Your plant arrives nursery-grown in a 3 Gallon (10") pot and stands approximately 30–36 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the nursery container to the top of the plant. Once planted in warm climates, Alocasia Portora can grow impressively large, often reaching 6–8 feet tall with broad leaves spanning several feet across.

This elephant ear variety thrives in warm temperatures, bright light, and consistently moist soil, making it an excellent choice for tropical-style gardens, poolside planting, and shaded patio spaces. The tall stems and ruffled leaf edges give the plant a bold, sculptural look that stands out among other tropical plants.

In USDA Zones 9–11, Alocasia Portora grows outdoors year-round. In cooler climates, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors before frost. With proper warmth and moisture, this striking tropical plant becomes a dramatic focal point in any garden.

Grown with care and shipped fresh from our Florida nursery, every plant reflects the premium quality and attention to detail that define Tropical Plants of Florida.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
