Alocasia Ebony's leaves are shaped like arrows and have coloration that is just as sharp: light green and silver veins that contrast with the green of the leaves. Short on space? Ebony can be grown in a 6-8 inch container, which is ideal for growing indoors, outdoors, or on your patio. Please note that elephant ears' attributes become more defined when they mature.

• Height when mature: 3-6 feet
• Light: 50-70% shade
• Soil: Rich, well-drained
• Water: Moist but not soggy
• Zones: 10+

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

It’s so tiny I’ll be surprised if it survives and yes I watered it and put it in well draining soil as soon as I received it.
