Elephant Ear
Plant (Scientific -Alocasias| Sin - ඇලෝකාසියස්) feature stunning foliage that can become the centerpiece
of a garden or room. In the right conditions, they can grow very fast, but they
are also sensitive plants. Alocasia grows well in containers. In the warm
summer months, alocasia can produce a new leaf every week. Each new leaf might
be twice the size of the previous week.The rapid leaf growth will stop and the
plant will likely remain as-is throughout the winter season.
Alocasias's macerated leaves can be used
as a poultice on infected sores. To treat insect stings, the stem leaf can be
cut and rubbed on the affected area to prevent swelling and pain. The young
leaves are rich in vitamin C and thiamine (vitamin
B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin.
