À propos
Artificial taro: elephant ears on colored stems
This artificial taro captures the spectacular look of the Colocasia: large arrow-shaped leaves, in a medium green, sway at the end of long dark pink-purple petioles. Without a trunk, the plant forms a full and graphic clump where the contrast between the green of the leaves and the color of the stems immediately catches the eye.
At 130 cm, it brings a jungle feel to an entrance, living room, or office.
Height: 130 cm, pot included.
Foliage: large medium green arrow leaves, pink-purple petioles.
Use: indoors only.
Care: not a drop of water, just a cloth from time to time.
Delivery: shipped in its 15 cm black plastic nursery pot, without a decorative pot.
Weight: approximately 1.2 kg, easy to move.
Shipped by our partner grower in suitable packaging, your taro arrives ready to unfurl its leaves.

Conseils d’entretien
Caring for your artificial taro
✨ Dusting
The large horizontal leaves of the taro act as dust catchers. We recommend wiping them every week or two with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, holding the leaf from underneath to avoid putting strain on the stem. Also remember to wipe the pinkish-purple stems. Once or twice a year, a quick lukewarm shower followed by drying it upright is enough. No window cleaner or polish.
☀️ Placement
This taro is intended for indoor use only. No light is necessary: it is at home in a dark entryway, a north-facing living room, or a windowless office. However, we recommend keeping it out of direct sunlight behind a large window, which could fade the pink of its stems, and away from radiators.
🪴 Setup
Take the taro out of the box by holding it by the pot, not by the stems. Slide the 15 cm black pot into a container with an inner diameter of 18 to 22 cm; its large leaves cause the weight to pull outwards, so a fairly heavy container will prevent it from tipping.
🌿 Arranging the foliage
The stems often come tightly packed. Gently spread them out in a fan shape, then tilt each leaf forward, like a real plant, to highlight the contrast between the coloured stems and the green blades. Leave some space around it: the leaves take up room.
A wipe over its large leaves and a sturdy planter: your taro retains all its presence.

Tout ce qu'il faut savoir Artificial Taro (Colocasia) - large purple-pink leaves and stems - 130 cm - Artificial plant
Can artificial turf be installed outdoors?
Artificial taro is intended for indoor use only: lacking UV protection, it would not withstand the sun in a garden, showers, or frosts. Indoors, all exposures suit it, even a windowless hallway. Simply avoid placing it directly behind a sliding glass door in full sun, as direct rays could, over time, dull the pink of its stems and the green of its leaves. A bright or dark room suits it very well.
How do I clean the large leaves of artificial taro?
Care for the artificial taro by wiping each leaf every seven to fifteen days with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, as their horizontal surfaces quickly collect dust. Support the leaf with your hand to avoid putting pressure on the stem. Wipe the pinkish-purple petioles as well. Once or twice a year, a quick lukewarm shower will restore shine to the entire plant; let it dry upright before putting it back. Avoid polishes and household products.
How much space should I allow for the 130 cm artificial taro?
The artificial taro is 130 cm tall, including the 15 cm pot, but its large arrow-shaped leaves also spread outwards at the ends of their long stems. Give it a clear space, such as a corner of a room, the side of a sofa or a spacious entryway, so that the leaves do not rub against a wall. Placed in a tall 20 cm container, where its nursery pot can be concealed, its top reaches a height of around 1.35 m. It is therefore suitable for any ceiling height.
Is artificial taro safe for cats and dogs?
Artificial taro contains no sap, whereas real Colocasia contains crystals that irritate animals' mouths: the artificial version eliminates this chemical risk. There remains a mechanical risk if your cat or dog shreds a leaf and ingests fragments. If your pet likes to chew on plants, keep the taro out of reach and observe them for the first few days. In case of ingestion, consult your veterinarian.
Artificial taro or live taro: which to choose for your home?
Artificial taro is best suited for the home: live taro needs constantly moist soil, warmth, bright light, and high humidity—conditions rarely found together in a heated apartment. Without them, its leaves dry out and it often loses its foliage in winter. The artificial version keeps its giant leaves and pinkish-purple stems all year round. Live taro remains magnificent in a damp garden or warm conservatory from late spring through autumn.
How to secure artificial taro in a cachepot?
The artificial taro is sold without a decorative pot, in its 15 cm black nursery pot. Choose a container with an inner diameter of 18 to 22 cm that is sufficiently heavy, made of ceramic or terracotta, as its large leaves shift the weight outwards. Place the pot at the bottom, secure it with gravel or crumpled paper, then cover the surface with moss or clay pebbles. A terracotta decorative pot beautifully highlights its colourful stems.
Why is artificial taro called pink taro?
The artificial taro gets its pink taro nickname from its long petioles, the stems that carry the leaves, in a clearly visible dark pink-purple shade. The leaves themselves remain medium green, creating a colorful contrast in the heart of the bunch. In some live Colocasia, the color of the petioles also varies depending on the variety. This detail makes this model a more decorative plant than simple green foliage, easy to match with pink or terracotta accessories.
L'essentiel concernant Artificial Taro (Colocasia) - large purple-pink leaves and stems - 130 cm - Artificial plant
Artificial taro (Colocasia): features and benefits
The Colocasia form a genus in the Araceae family, native to tropical Asia; its best-known representative, taro, has been cultivated for millennia for its tubers and is prized in the garden for its enormous leaves, nicknamed elephant ears. This artificial taro recreates its striking appearance: large medium-green arrow-shaped leaves, supported by long dark pink-purple petioles that grow directly from the pot, without a stem. Standing 130 cm tall, it comes in a 15 cm nursery pot and is for indoor use only.
Where to place an artificial taro?
Its generous leaves make it a statement plant: place it in an entryway next to a wooden console table, at the end of a sofa, or in the corner of an office, where it will have room to spread out. The pink-purple stems pair beautifully with terracotta, dusty pink, dark wood, and velvet tones. Against a light-colored wall, its large leaf shapes create an almost graphic effect. To complete this jungle-inspired look with live plants, choose from all our indoor plants that love the light from your windows.
How to care for an artificial taro?
Leaves: wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth every week or two.
Stems: wipe with a cloth to keep the pink color looking crisp.
Light: none, but keep out of direct sunlight through glass.
Balance: use a fairly heavy decorative pot to balance the large leaves.
Space: leave some space around it so the leaves do not bend.
Artificial taro or live Colocasia: which should you choose?
Live taro is a plant that thrives in damp conditions: it requires constantly moist soil, bright light, warmth, and high humidity. In a heated home, its leaves dry out at the edges, and it often goes dormant in winter, losing its foliage. Artificial taro keeps its large leaves and colorful stems all year round, without watering or misting. For a damp garden or warm conservatory, live Colocasia is stunning in season; for permanent indoor decoration, artificial is the simplest solution.
