‘Black Coral’ is one of the glossiest dark Colocasia, with broad purple-black leaves that catch the light like wet stone. Its polished surface makes the leaf shape and venation visible even when the colour is at its deepest.
This is a clump-forming plant that stays relatively contained in a large pot. Give it warmth, bright light and plenty of moisture during active growth; the foliage will darken as it settles and matures.
