Mojito Elephant Ear Taro Plant – Exotic Elegance for Your Garden
About the Bloom
The Mojito Elephant Ear Taro Plant does not bloom, but its large, heart-shaped leaves are the main attraction. Featuring vibrant green leaves with striking dark purple veins, this plant adds a tropical touch to any garden. The lush foliage creates a dramatic and eye-catching display, making it a standout feature in your landscape.
What to Know About the Plant
The Mojito Elephant Ear Taro Plant is a deciduous plant that goes dormant in the winter months. It can grow up to 4-6 feet tall, providing a bold and exotic presence in your garden. The leaves of this plant have a unique variegated pattern, with shades of green and purple that create a visually stunning effect. Plant this Taro in a well-drained, moist soil for optimal growth and watch it thrive in your garden.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Pair the Mojito Elephant Ear Taro Plant with tropical fruit trees like Banana, Mango, or Papaya to create a lush and exotic oasis in your garden. Mix in berry plants such as Blackberries or Raspberries for a pop of color and texture. Incorporate herbs like Mint or Basil for a fragrant and flavorful addition to your landscape. The Mojito Elephant Ear Taro Plant adds a touch of tropical elegance to your fruitscape, blending seamlessly with a variety of edible plants for a stunning and harmonious garden design.
Landscaping with House Plants
While this plant is perfectly suited for growing in a container as a house plant, it can just as well be planted in the ground to enhance a garden. We love these plants for that reason. They add instant appeal to spruce up the atmosphere wherever you choose. They typically prefer a little more shade and warmth which is why they do well on a patio or inside the house. The love of house plants is so natural and healthy. House plants improve the quality of air and enhance our moods. That’s why we can’t seem to get enough of them! Try mixing colors and textures to find your favorite planter look.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Our tropical house plants will do well when fertilized each year with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your House Plants, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.
Shipping Restrictions
Unfortunately, We Cannot Process Orders to California, Hawaii, Alaska, or Internationally: Please note that due to specific agricultural regulations, we’re unable to ship any plants to the states of California, Hawaii, and Alaska, or outside the United States. Additionally, citrus trees can only be shipped within the state of Florida.
Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
