Plant Description

Black Taro  (Colocasia) is one of the most exotic looking plants you will find anywhere in the world! Very large, oily-black, fluted elephant ears add drama when planted in containers and placed on the patio, as a focal point in your pond, or in rows along a driveway or in front of your home. Black Taro is an amazing plant and is a SHOWSTOPPER!  Grows to 36 to 60 inches tall in full sun to part shade. Black Taro is only one of the many new and exciting plants for ponds at Pond Megastore!

Taro Height  Grows to 42 inches tall

Taro Width  18 - 24 inch spread or wider

Sunlight Requirements  Full sun to shade (Morning sun is best,  warmth at root level for good growing)

Moisture Requirements  Moist soil or up to 3 inches of water above the top of the container in the pond

Hardy in Plant zones 8 through 12, easily overwinter roots indoors in northern states. 

Taro Planting Instructions

Plant Black Taro in moist soil in your bog or terrestrial garden or place in a container using heavy loam soil and place in your pond with an inch or two of water above the top of the pot. Plant in light sunlight (morning sun) to full shade. Black Taro can be planted in loam soil for the pond or in rich, composted soil for your terrestrial garden. When planting these beauties in your flower garden, keep in mind that they will grow to 42 inches tall--so place them behind shorter varieties! Water during dry spells and fertilize once a month throughout the summer months.  Fertilize your pond plants with Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs + Humates (June through August). In the north, taro bulbs must be lifted after the first, light frost, remove spent foliage and overwinter indoors in dark, cool, dry conditions. Replant in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Add drama and excitement to your water garden this year with Black Taro!  

*Always acclimate your marginal plants in a shady area and rehydrate them for a few days before planting. Never place your marginal plants directly in the sunlight until you have acclimated and rehydrated them in a shady area for a few days.  Introduce them to full sun slowly. Make sure you plant your marginal plants in loam soil, not rocks! Never place rocks on the top of your soil in the container as this does not allow plants to grow naturally.

Utility at its best
Snaps closed fast! I do like this thing though because the shelf is very stable and breathes well. HOWEVER it snaps shut very fast and very securely. The hooks were a little strange to install but once you get it set up it holds up well. I like the fact it collapses and hides away. Really great for a laundry room or a place you need a temporary shelf. Excellent and heavy weight material

great tuck-in shelf, though screws should be higher vs lower for stability
I'm really glad I got this little sweater drying rack. I love that it folds up against the wall to hardly take up any space at all. You do have to open and close it carefully b/c it can snap back very quickly and could pinch fingers or catch something else if there was anything hanging near it. The only other thing I don't love about it is that the screws are on the lower end of the frame so it is top-heavy and hangs forward. I screwed the screws in all the way to the drywall studs which we hammered flat against the wall and this still leans forward. It doesn't lean enough that something would slide off or anything but it doesn't look good when hanging out and forward. I definitely wouldn't use it as a display or storage shelf as it is pictured in one of the pictures in the listing. Even with that frustration though, I only took off one star as I'm overall very happy with the whole idea of this and it does work well and serve its purpose. I'm glad I got it.

Nice compact flat clothes drying shelf
I like this little collapsible drying shelf for my laundry room. It is compact and a great space saving shelf. I am always hunting for spaces to flat dry clothes where they wont be accessed by my toddlers or cat or dogs and this is a great solution for one off items that need flat drying. I love that it folds in so you don't always have to have a shelf sticking out. 5 stars

Great for home/office use! Worth the price
Color: Space Gray, Size: mStand, Style: mStand, Color: Space Gray, Size: mStand, Style: mStand
Purpose: For home and office use specifically: this is not meant to be a portable stand. It is sturdy and makes a great addition to any workspace. My 2018 MacBook Pro 13 inch touchbar laptop first perfectly. The space gray is almost exact. It is not adjustable but keeps the laptop at eyelevel for using at a desk. It really works well for those who would like to use it with dedicated assossories such as a mouse and keyboard. I researched for days and I’m happy I bought this because the quality is A+. It does not feel cheap and once it arrives, you’ll understand why it is so popular. I work at home and also as a university student I have struggled with neck pain from always looking down. This keeps the screen elevated so that it’s at eye level. It allows me to easily use a keyboard and mouse without having to readjust the screen. After searching for days and going through multiple stands, I believe this is the best quality stand for the price. I am glad I went with this specific model, the lines are clean, it’s aesthetically pleasing and functional. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to use their computer as a monitor with a separate mouse and keyboard. Cons: It’s not meant to be portable, and although that would be a good option for anyone wanting to take it to the library and travel; this item is heavy and sturdy. It would not travel well. Also as mentioned, the stand elevates the computer at a height where you would need a separate mouse and keyboard. It would not be functional to use your laptop to type or the trackpad while on this stand. Overall I am glad I bought this item first before another. It is a high quality assessory that I believe will get good use and last for years. Definitely would recommend.

The difference it makes!
Color: Space Gray, Size: mStand, Style: mStand, Color: Space Gray, Size: mStand, Style: mStand
With virtual lectures, I was sitting at my desk (including study time) for about 15 hours a day with excruciating back pain, so I was browsing for stands that can angle my ipad up while I was taking notes on it, so I don't have to hunch over on my desk. However, with me having to lean on the actual ipad to write, I couldn't find a stand durable enough that can support that weight without bending the stand downward. Even desk elevation platforms still required me to lean over it facing down bc of their flat designs which also caused me to have upper back/ shoulder pain. I had the previous model of the mstand for my laptop for about 3 years now, and thought why not. The mstand I previously had was still just as sturdy as the day I first got it, so I knew I wouldn't have an issue with long-term durability. I know this company offers separate stands for ipads, but I decided to purchase another laptop mstand for my ipad because the angle of it was exactly what I wanted (plus, adjustable angles are only convenient if you're using your tablet only for viewing purposes imo). This item, being fixed at my preferred angle and being incredibly well made with sturdy metals, allows me to lean on my ipad all I want to jot down notes which saves my back like nothing else. Also, a plus is that it just looks and feels amazing. It's pretty much made out of the same metal and finish as my apple products, so it's heavy-duty and doesn't shift around at all. I was especially impressed because this new design fixed all the problems I had with my previous design. The previous design has a slightly more elevated angle, which might not be as comfortable for some people, but this new design is lowered just a tiny bit to put less pressure on the back of your elbows while typing. Also, with the previous design I was always annoyed because the sticky rubber pieces to prevent the metal-on-metal scratching of my laptop kept falling off. However, with this new design, they increased the size of the rubber and thinned it out so that it can't fall off at all. Overall the design just feels a lot more durable and sleek. I will definitely be recommending this to my colleagues!
