Quick Care Tips: Colocasia 'Black Magic' & 'Black Ripple' (video)

These are my Colocasia collection commonly known as Black Taro.
Here in my collection are two types:

Colocasia esculenta ' Black Magic' & Colocasia esculenta ' Black Ripple'

1) Tip 1:
Grow & Cultivate them in direct sunlight as they are sun lovers.
If they are grown in shade they will turn more on green notes and the black pigmentation will not be so visible.

2) Tip 2:
These are aquatic plants and require water-logged pots where their root ball is sitting in water. If their root ball gets dries up - the leaves will wither and will have burned marks at the edges.

3) Tip 3:
Since they are exposed to direct sun & rain and the plants grow without drainage holes - do check on them from time to time concerning mosquito breeding in them.

Here - I grow other aquatic plants so that there is no chance for water stagnation and that helps deter mosquitoes from laying their eggs here.
