Mojito Elephant Ear PPAF - Colocasia esculenta
USDA Zones 7-11
Heavy Water Needs
Full-Part Sun
You'll never see an elephant ear as unique and striking as the Mojito. The leaves have a camouflage-like pattern with splashes of deep purple. The uncommon characteristics of the Mojito don't end with the leaves; even the stems are variegated with streaks of purple. If your plant doesn't look just like the picture, give it a little time to grow up. Elephant ears' attributes become even more defined when they mature.
• Average mature height: 4-6 feet
• Light: Full to part sun
• Soil: Rich, well drained. Keep moist. Do not let dry out between waterings.
• Zones: 7b-11

Small but healthy looking. The two leaves it has are pretty. I’m hoping that the leaves will get more of the “lemon” and “lime” gecko coloration as it matures. Packaged well and delivered on time.
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We’re glad your plant arrived safely and on time, and that its leaves are looking pretty. With time and growth, we hope you’ll enjoy seeing its lemon-lime coloration develop. Happy growing!
Packaging was done well and the plant looks great!
My plants as usual was received in their best condition. I’m always satisfied with my plants from wellspring.
These are by far the best starter plants I’ve ever purchased!
I ordered starter plants from an Etsy seller a few weeks ago and most of the plants pretty much came DOA. I told myself I’d never buy starter plants again.
Decided to give this company a shot, and boy they did not disappoint. Plants came very well packaged, and the plants looked so alive and healthy. Not to mention that the plants came very well rooted!
Assuming that these plants are always like this as far as size and health, I would definitely buy from them again!
Unfortunately, this plant arrived deceased
Hey Camber, sorry your plant died in transit. That happens (rarely) but shipping can be stressful on living organisms. If it arrived within the past 30 days, you can easily request a refund here: returns.wsprg.com

Arrived quickly and in great shape. The packaging was excellent.
Beautiful plant arrived in great condition ❤ I named the Jake & Elwood 'The Blues Brothers'
Hopefully I can bring this back to life
I love this seller! I normally shop on their actual website but stumbled upon their Etsy.
Always get beautiful plants from this seller. Thank you again!
Nice starter plant!! We'll definitely buy again
First purchase from this seller and I am absolutely pleased. Plant was secure and arrived in great condition and even has a new leaf ready to pop. As well has a few babies at the bottom! Overall a great experience and I WILL be shopping again!
Worth the wait! Bigger than expected and stunning. Thank you!
I wanted so badly to leave a good review, as these starts were packaged so well and came from a reputable online store. Unfortunately they just weren't worth the $40 spent and arrived with dead leaves on both and the one leaf on each that did live a couple days are now on their way out. Shipping was speedy and weather was fine… I'm not confident that such a fragile plant should be shipped so small. I also just bought one at my local nursery today in a 6” pot with 6 huge leaves for $7.99. I'll just stay away from tender bulb plants when it comes to online shopping. :(
Exceeded my expectations! One leaf isn't happy from travel but hopefully it bounces back
Absolutely beautiful!! Already growing a new leaf!! I highly recommend this shop!
Beautiful plant. Excited to watch this one grow!
This plant arrived healthy in 100 degree weather across the country. It needed water when it arrived (as is to be expected), and the leaves it had did not make it (also very common with elephant ears/any plant sent by mail), but a new leaf was already peeking out. It was packaged carefully, and it has grown new leaves, and the leaf color patterns are gorgeous. I always recommend wiping leaves of newly arrived plants for hitchhikers and waiting a few weeks to transplant. I am very happy with the price and health of this plan on arrival. I would absolutely purchase from this seller again.
