I bought this colocasia on my birthday last year. It had three leaves. On my birthday today, I’ve just repotted it into a huge 40cm pot as it was very rootbound. I wonder how big it will have gotten by my birthday next year!

First of all … Happy Birthday!!! 🥳 🎈 🎂 and secondly, your plant is gorgeous 🤩 what kind of light does it get? I love elephant ear plants but I haven’t attempted one yet.

Thank you ☺️  
It gets bright indirect light most of the afternoon. It’s a really easy one to look after, you just need enough space 😂
