Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear (Caladium praetermissum)
Common Names: Alocasia Hilo Beauty, Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear, Caladium Hilo Beauty
Looking for a bold and unique houseplant to make a statement? The Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear (Caladium praetermissum) is a stunning ornamental perennial that captivates with its one-of-a-kind variegated foliage. With large, heart-shaped leaves speckled in shades of lime green, pale white, and soft blue-green, this plant resembles an artist’s masterpiece—each leaf displaying a unique camouflage-like pattern. Paired with bluish-black stems, the contrast is striking, making this a must-have for any plant collector or interior décor enthusiast.
What Makes Hilo Beauty Special?
Spectacular Camouflage-Like Foliage
- The highly variegated leaves set this plant apart from any other houseplant. The lime green and pale white speckles dance across each leaf, creating an almost paint-splattered effect.
- Its irregular blotched pattern is different on every leaf, making each plant uniquely beautiful.
Tropical Elegance for Any Space
- With its large, heart-shaped leaves and bluish-black stems, the Hilo Beauty brings an exotic, lush vibe to any indoor setting.
- Whether displayed as a focal point on a plant stand or among other tropical plants, it adds a touch of sophistication and wild beauty to any collection.
Moderate Size, Big Impact
- Unlike some Elephant Ear plants that grow overwhelmingly large, Hilo Beauty stays within two to four feet tall, making it perfect for indoor spaces while still offering impressive foliage.
A Collector’s Favorite
- This plant is a rare and highly sought-after addition to houseplant collections, thanks to its uncommon variegation and distinctive color palette.
Interesting Facts About Hilo Beauty
- Often Mistaken for Alocasia or Colocasia: Though commonly labeled as an Alocasia Hilo Beauty, this plant is actually a Caladium species with its own unique characteristics.
- Camouflage Effect: Its speckled leaf pattern resembles camouflage, earning it the nickname “Camo Plant” among collectors.
- Thrives in Humidity: Native to tropical environments, this plant loves warm, humid conditions, making it a great addition to bathrooms or greenhouse-style setups.
- Goes Dormant in Winter: Like other Caladiums, Hilo Beauty may go dormant during the colder months, shedding its leaves and regrowing in spring.
Why You’ll Love Hilo Beauty in Your Home
- A bold and unique aesthetic that adds personality and vibrancy to any space.
- Moderate size makes it easy to fit into indoor environments.
- Complements other tropical plants like Alocasias, Philodendrons, and Monsteras.
- A great conversation starter due to its unusual variegated foliage.
Care Tips for Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some shade but may lose variegation in low light.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray will help maintain proper conditions.
- Temperature: Very sensitive to cold. Keep above 60°F (16°C) at all times and protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Soil: Well-draining, rich soil with organic matter. A light, airy mix, such as an aroid mix, works best.
- Dormancy: May enter dormancy in winter, during which watering should be reduced, and leaf loss is normal before regrowth in spring.
Key Benefits of Hilo Beauty
- Striking foliage makes it a standout plant in any collection.
- Moderate size allows for easy placement in both small and large spaces.
- Helps improve indoor air quality.
- Complements modern, tropical, and bohemian décor styles.
Is Hilo Beauty Pet-Friendly?
This plant is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Like other Caladiums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if chewed. It is best to keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children.
Why It’s a Great Purchase
The Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear is not just another houseplant—it is a showstopper. With dramatic camouflage-patterned leaves, bold contrast, and tropical charm, this plant can transform any indoor space. Whether for an experienced collector or a new plant enthusiast, Hilo Beauty is a rare and exciting addition that offers both beauty and character.
This unique and exotic plant is in high demand, making it a perfect addition to any plant lover’s home.

Practical, logical, and comprehensive guide to starting and running an Airbnb
Format: Kindle
This is a great resource for anyone who wants to own and operate an Airbnb (short-term rental housing). The book is comprehensive. It starts with the basics and goes on and on, covering every conceivable issue, from startup basics to day-to-day operations, legal issues that might come up, how to hire a cleaning crew—even real estate issues many people might not be aware of. The only thing I found missing was instructions for how to deal with bedbugs, which are a growing problem throughout the world (and can wreak havoc on any rental property).
The book is well-organized, which makes it easy to read… perfect for anyone trying to learn the business from the ground up. It is well-researched, with many examples to show the reader how things work in the real world. There are a number of resources mentioned also: websites for additional information on how to compare rates, and so on.
The author is practical and pragmatic. He balances caution with enthusiasm (and vice versa). I recommend it to anyone who wants to gain additional income through Airbnb.

Amazing, different, success.
Format: Kindle
First let me say that this book (series) was not something I normally read. I prefer LGBT books written by women, but I also had no idea what a LitRPG was.
I started the book cautiously, I found myself a little disappointed that it was under LGBT but the main character was into her co-worker. The co-worker was a dude. But I kept reading and I was surprised by how I got into the fact that it was sending her into a realm where she was basically a character in a video game. Completing tasks to earn points, leveling up, gaining stats.
Now I’ll be honest, some of the information in this book (and the rest of the series) flew straight over my head. The author is definitely far more intelligent than I, and probably most average people lol.
Finally, the characters are actually well developed and have their own unique personalities. With Emma’s leadership qualities she helps her group of new friends survive and turn into badasses. In the following books you can see how they each change and take on different roles over the course of their trials.
This first book was great, it got me hooked. But it gets even better as time goes on! I have read this series so many times that I basically know it by heart. It’s that good.
I recommend you read this, and the 5 other novels in the series. Also, check out the authors website and Patreon for sure. He’s currently working on a new series and posts chapter updates in Patreon posts.
PS. I only leave reviews on books that wow me. :)

Comes Off Naturally
Format: Kindle
Unnatural Laws introduces a few wrinkles to the isekai LitRPG template and makes a comfy niche for itself.
First, as the title implies, it introduces a few variations to the laws of physics. Water has higher self-cohesion, breathing can be weaponized, gravity's parameters work differently, etc.
Second, the book includes the "forced participation in a training/puzzle facility" subgenre. Instead of a short tutorial arc, the first book ends well before winning free of the deadly training scenarios.
Third, the "portal" mechanism by which folks are yoinked into a new reality. It is implied that the "kidnapped to another world" setup will continue to be important to the plot, where in most other Isekai it doesn't particularly matter how or why the MC got yoinked...it only matters that it happened.
The most important things to me are characters. And these characters work! The MC is snarky, tough-minded, and takes charge. In a romance novel dust jacket, that description would already have me nauseous in anticipation of a vapid young woman who "zings" when silence would serve and who only appears "tough" and "take charge" because all of the other characters react to her that way. Not in this book! In this story, it's real and it's working for me.
The secondary characters are also real to me. A young woman who low-key flirts with everyone (unconsciously?) and gets preferential treatment. An earnest young man who flees from anything he considers "work"...but will happily pour himself into crafts he enjoys. And others that I can only encapsulate even worse, so I won't try! There is plenty going on and plenty more to uncover. I thoroughly enjoy watching them interact and cooperate to navigate their new circumstances.
Other things that are present and well-done, even if they don't stand out quite as much:
- An assistant AI with secrets to keep
- An interesting LitRPG system, blended with cultivation
- A teaser for a well-built new world
- A germinating romantic relationship
If you enjoy the Isekai genre, the only thing that should make you pause before buying this: It's light on combat. Plenty of action, mind you, but most of it isn't combat.
If that doesn't bother you (as it doesn't bother me), then you should pick this up.
=====
EDIT: After reading 5 books, I like this series even better. At this point, I'd revise the subgenre to be "death games" and mention that the death games don't finish until the very end of book 4.
The "light on combat" label expires with book one...there's plenty of combat after that. It is both well done and inventive!
Lastly, I suppose this could be classified as YA fiction. Political landscapes and broader implications are hinted at, but you rarely get a look at them before they arrive and change the landscape. That said, I'm no spring chicken and I enjoyed these books a great deal.
