Turn shade into a spotlight. Redemption™ unfurls broad, heart-shaped leaves that read nearly black, slashed with vivid hot-pink centers and veins—an instant, tropical focal point for patios, ponds, and modern containers. The bold color holds through summer heat, pairing beautifully with silver grasses, lime coleus, or ferny textures for high-contrast drama indoors or out.
Redemption™ Colocasia Care
Give this elephant ear bright, indirect light to morning sun with afternoon shade outdoors; indoors, place near a bright window out of harsh rays. Plant in rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil (mix compost into beds; use a chunky, peat-free potting mix with added bark/perlite for containers).
Keep soil consistently moist—never bone-dry—with deeper, more frequent watering in hot weather. Colocasias are hungry: feed every 2–4 weeks in spring–summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (or use a slow-release at planting). High humidity (50%+) keeps foliage pristine; group with other plants or use a pebble tray indoors.
Remove spent or wind-torn leaves cleanly at the base to direct energy to new growth. Frost tender: perennial in roughly USDA Zones 8–11; in colder zones, treat as an annual or lift and store tubers dry in a cool, frost-free place after first frost. Note: sap may irritate skin; all parts are considered toxic if ingested—site away from pets and children.
Redemption™ Colocasia Spacing
Expect about 3–4 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide in a season. In beds and borders, space 30–36 inches on center for a full, seamless canopy; tighten to 24 inches for lush massing around water features. As a solo statement, allow 24–30 inches of open space around the plant so leaves can arch without brushing paths.
For containers, start with a sturdy 14–18"+ diameter pot with excellent drainage; place planters 18–24 inches apart for airflow and maintenance access. Works at the shallow edge of ponds or boggy sites (crown above waterline).

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
