Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. More sunlight enhances its leaf color and overall vigor.
• Watering: Prefers consistently moist soil. Keep the soil damp but not soggy, as it enjoys water but dislikes standing in it.
• Humidity: Benefits from high humidity. Misting the leaves or placing it near a humidifier can help in drier climates.
• Temperature: Performs best in warm temperatures above 65°F (18°C). Protect it from frost and cold drafts.
• Soil: Grows well in rich, well-draining soil with organic matter. It can even tolerate wetter conditions, making it suitable for water gardens.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
• Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth and maintain its appearance.

Special Notes:

• Growth Habit: Colocasia ‘Hawaiian Punch’ is a compact variety, making it ideal for container gardens, patios, and smaller spaces. It can grow up to 2–3 feet tall.
• Water Tolerance: This plant can thrive in wetter environments, including as a marginal aquatic plant in ponds or water features.
• Dormancy: In colder climates, it may enter dormancy during winter. Reduce watering, and store tubers in a cool, dry place if growing in zones where frost occurs.

With its striking red stems and lush green leaves, the Colocasia ‘Hawaiian Punch’ adds a bold tropical vibe to any landscape or collection. Whether placed in a water garden, a bright indoor spot, or a decorative container, it’s guaranteed to captivate attention.
