Plant care: Colocasia x 'Black magic' 'Starter'

The Colocasia x Black Magic thrives in direct sunlight. A spot near a window would be perfect, or you can take the plant outside during the summer months. Make sure the soil doesn’t dry out too much in between watering. The ideal temperature for the ‘Black Magic’ lies around 16 to 25 degrees Celsius. Be careful, temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius will likely be a bit too much to handle for this plant.
