The Colocasia 'Lime' (also called Colocasia esculenta 'Lime Zinger') is a striking variety known for its vibrant lime-green leaves that bring a pop of color to any garden or indoor space. Here’s a quick care guide:

 

Care Instructions

 

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct light. In lower light, the foliage may lose some vibrancy.

 

Watering: Prefers consistently moist soil. Avoid letting it dry out completely, especially during the growing season.

 

Humidity: High humidity is ideal. Consider misting or placing it near a humidifier if kept indoors.

 

Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between 18–30°C (65–85°F). Protect it from frost and cold drafts.

 

Soil: Grows best in rich, well-draining soil. It can also thrive in boggy or wet conditions, making it suitable for water gardens.

 

Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer).

 

 

Additional Notes

 

Growth Habit: Typically grows to 3–4 feet tall with a spread of 2–3 feet, making it a bold statement plant.

 

Dormancy: May go dormant in colder months; reduce watering during this time and resume when new growth appears.

 

Toxicity: Like other Colocasia varieties, it is toxic if ingested, so keep away from pets and children.
