Ok, wow! This one will knock your guests socks off!

Calidora Upright Elephant Ear (Alocasia x 'Calidora') is a tremendous accent plant with leaves the length of a Mini Cooper. It's also incredibly easy to grow.

We're excited to offer one of the world's most incredible accent plants. If you want a plant that effortlessly heightens the impact of your plantings and containers, place this on your "must have" list.

These upright, arrow-shaped leaves are a vivid, vibrant green that will definitely catch the eye. But the Brobdingnagian size will have their jaws dropping open in wonder.

This tender corm produces huge leaves quickly over a season. Leave room for them to reach their mature size and spread listed on the Plant Highlights, especially if you grow them in the ground.

If kept in containers, they'll still be impressive but may stay a little smaller. In Zones 3 - 8, wheel them out to your patio, balcony or pool deck for a tropical summer backdrop.

Once winter hits, you can enjoy them as a showy houseplant a few feet away from a bright window. Welcome to your very own jungle!

A plant as "fancy" as Calidora Upright Elephant Ear is bound to have a lot of nicknames...and you may hear it called Upright Elephant Ear, Taro or simply Calidora. This arresting Aroid is a hybrid Alocacia, so the ginormous leaves generally point upward.

New leaves emerge like long spears and reach for the sky. Over time, the green sheath unfurls to reveal its glory.

Prominent veins only add to the overall appeal. Highly textured, this choice makes the world's best "Thriller" to use at the center of an outdoor container.

As you might imagine, these flamboyant plants will sell out quickly. Order Calidora Upright Elephant Ear from Nature Hills today for a lush setting to your summertime.

How to Use Calidora Upright Elephant Ear in the Landscape

You'll want to get the soil right for this dynamo. Alocacia likes rich soil that is evenly moist; but never sopping wet or too dry.

If you want to grow them in the ground, partner them with plants that have a similar growing requirement. Mounded Hosta would make an excellent team, as would strappy Liriope as a contrasting edging plant.

We offer so many plants for partial shade conditions. Filter your search results by Zone,height and more...then choose your favorites.

Typically, Calidora Upright Elephant Ear would be used near in the center of an island bed. The same goes for one grown as a "Thriller" in a container placed away from a wall, so you can walk all the way around it.

However, anything goes these days! Play around with your composition, and don't be afraid to break the "rules" in your own personal paradise.

A really effective way to use such a magnificent plant is to plant it at the forked juncture of a garden path. Let it obscure the way forward, and you'll increase the anticipation of what's ahead.

Containers should be at least 10 inches wide for young corms. Over time, you'll need to size up to 20 inches wide.

Use trailing or mounded plants around the edge for a soft, polished presentation. Calidora Upright Elephant Ear looks tropical, and can handle a "lot of look", so be bold with your choices!

#ProPlantTips for Care

In the hottest Zones, you should give them a little shade in the afternoon. Cooler climates allow the Calidora Upright Elephant Ears to be grown in full sun or partial shade.

Give them a humusy soil, with a few extra handfuls of compost during planting. Good soil means a happy, healthy plant...and don't forget to use a good, slow-release fertilizer according to the directions.

They'll need a moderate amount of water on a consistent schedule. Mulch to a depth of three inches, pulling it back away from the main stems.

These tender plants can't tolerate frost, so you have a decision to make if you live with cold winters. Will you keep it for one beautiful season, or dig up the corm to overwinter it?

That process is fairly simple...first trim back the foliage and dig the corm out of the ground. Remove the roots and take indoors to dry.

Store overwinter in a dark, cool place. Then, replant them after the threat of frost has passed the following spring.

Corms will grow and produce pups, which help enlarge your planting. Perhaps you could gift one to your jealous friend for their very own!.

Of course, Calidora Upright Elephant Ear can be kept in containers. Bring it inside and trim it back as a winter houseplant...without overwatering during this dormant season.

Anytime of year, you can trim back spent leaves to tidy the plant. Wear garden gloves, as your skin may display sensitivities to the oxalates in the sap.

Get your Calidora Upright Elephant Ear today, and track your package to your doorstep. WIth proper care, it won't be long before the first long leaves start to delight you.

Enjoy the journey with this unique selection. Just a word of warning...you'll wind up with a collection of these dazzling Alocacia and downturned Colocasia.

Outstanding Frother!
Color: Space Gray
Exceptional! This frother is in another league compared to the cheapo push button frothers. The motor is smooth, quiet and powerful. This has an intuitive thumb dial on top that operates smoothly with a wide range of smooth speed adjustment. It’s gentle enough to froth a little bit of milk for a macchiato and powerful enough to scramble 3 eggs. The head is removable for easy cleaning. It’s also rechargeable. I charged this the day I bought it on April first. I use it at least twice a day. It’s September 26th today and I have yet to recharge it and it’s not showing any signs of needing a charge. One minor quibble is that they give you 2 of the same frother heads. They are built so well, that I don’t imagine it ever wearing out. It would have been nice to get a whisk or something different. Not a deal breaker at all though.

Handheld Mixer/Frother Review A Premium Choice That Transforms Morning Coffee I am thoroughly impressed with this handheld mixer and frother. Each morning, I blend cacao and collagen powder into my coffee, and in the past, I always ended up with stubborn lumps using only a spoon or whisk. I had previously purchased a few inexpensive handheld mixers, but they disappointed me both in price and performance, struggling to mix the powders thoroughly—especially at the bottom of the cup. I came close to abandoning handheld mixers altogether, but decided to give it one last try. After reading countless reviews and carefully comparing models, I opted to invest in a higher-end handheld mixer. The anticipation was high—would this mixer truly distinguish itself from the budget options cluttering my kitchen drawer? From the moment I unboxed it, the difference was clear. The mixer felt substantial in my hand, and the build quality reflected thoughtful engineering. While this model cost roughly twice as much as the cheaper alternatives, it proved to be well worth the investment. Initially, I was concerned about the dial at the top, fearing it might be difficult to control. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its intuitive operation. The unit offers a solid feel, plenty of power, and a versatile range of speeds—from a gentle stir perfect for coffee to an impressively fast setting. I had not previously considered using this mixer as a frother, but as a cappuccino enthusiast, I decided to give it a try. I heated both 2% milk and oat milk to take the chill off, then submerged the mixing wand. Allowing the mixer to rise above the milk introduced air and created a rich, creamy foam—an unbelievable result. My homemade cappuccino now tastes like something from a café. The controls are robust, the construction is reliable, and the power is consistent. Cleanup is effortless, requiring only a quick rinse under the tap. The battery life is also noteworthy, lasting through several uses without losing strength. If you are hesitant to spend a bit more on a quality handheld mixer, I wholeheartedly recommend making the investment. This mixer has become an essential part of my morning routine. Excellent product—well done!

Very nearly the perfect frother for all your basic frothing & mixing needs
Color: Black
There are a lot of middle-of-the-road frothers out there. I've been through a few of them in my recent search for something that could mix and froth well, without taking up any more outlets in my basement kitchen. Of the three Maestri frothers I've tried so far, this one wins the race by a nose. Most recently, these Maestri frothers come in basically three versions: A single-speed @ 8000 RPM, a two-speed @8000/5500 RPM, and this stepless variable-speed version. Aside from that, the only real difference in recent version pack-outs is which attachments they come with. Look over the reviews of the single-speed version and you'll find that while it can and does froth well, it starts at a single, high speed and gets there fast. This makes it pretty easy to spin liquid right out of most common cups and mugs. There is a two-speed version, but it's harder to find, only comes in one color (Grape Purple), and while it's much better than the Maestri single-speed, it still has a couple of quirks that make this variable-speed version win out. This mixes and froths whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy whipping cream, or just about anything else very well. Like all frothers, it takes a little time to learn its nuances and nail down the technique, this will definitely get you there. The best feature of this is easily the speed control. Turn the knob to turn it on at a low speed that's great to get things started, then turn the knob to crank up the speed just enough to do what you need, whether that's mixing or frothing. The low starting speed makes it easy to keep things under control without undue spilling, and the max speed is more than enough to make quick work of getting your froth on. There are really only two complaints I have with this stepless, variable speed version: - I'd really like to have a Press On / Release Off button in addition to the Speed Control knob. More than one time have I gone to turn this off, only to spin the knob the wrong way and crank the speed up to ludicrous, sloshing liquid on the counter. Being able to turn it Off just by letting go of the button would be quick and easy. This configuration would allow using a preferred speed right from the start, while still allowing speed to be adjusted on-the-fly when needed. - Give it a bigger battery. It would cost mere pennies to give this a 2000mAH+ instead of a 1200mAH battery, and I can't think of any reasonable downside to that. - Give the motor a little more torque. It's fairly easy for the current motor, at any speed, to get bogged down in a thick protein powder mix, or when pressing the frother or other attachment a bit too hard into the bottom or side of the frothing container. A bit more "oomph" would prevent that. I really like the overall design and features of thes Maestri frothers better than many other, cheaper versions. This variable-speed version is pretty great as it is and probably the one I would recommend over the single- or two-speed, for most people. But I often find myself using two hands -- one to hold it steady, and the other to turn it on and tweak the knob to the desired speed(s) -- for a device that should arguably need only one hand to use. Just a couple of minor tweaks as noted above would make this the overall best frother of its type that I've used.

Hands down, the BEST handheld frother I've ever used!
Color: Black
Hands down, the BEST handheld frother I've ever used! I got the black one, but any color will have the same results. Over the past 12 years or so, I've used so many different handheld frothers and they've ALL fallen short of expectations for quality, longevity, power, features, and usability. I've used everything from cheap, $15 models to $50+ models and everything in-between. Some with fancy attachments for various types of mixing, frothing, beating, whipping, etc. Some with rechargeable batteries, some without. Some AC powered, some with fixed whisks, some with detachable/replaceable whisks, some with stands, etc. NONE have been spectacular. Most broke within 6 months and got tossed. ALL were major disappointments in the end, including the "revered" Zulay models of which I tried several. I finally found this Maestri House branded, variable speed frother with detachable / replaceable whisks and got one to try. I was literally on Cloud Nine the first time I turned it on. Like, WOW! Not only was it FAST on the highest speed, but it was powerful enough to churn right through milk, eggs, cream, etc, without bogging down like many others. This thing makes milk froth like a milkshake and Matcha Lattes like nothing else I've ever experienced. I used to have to sift my Matcha, then whisk it in hot water, then froth milk and then blend them together to make the perfect latte. and if the milk was cold (my preference), pre-whisking in hot water was a must to avoid lumps. However, with THIS frother? I literally pour my milk into a tall tumbler, drop in un-sifted Matcha powder, and spin up the Maestri House frother at first on a medium low speed to get it mixed, then jump straight to the highest speed to really whip that milk and match up. After about 30-45 seconds, I've got the thickest, richest, smoothest, most aerated latte around. And NO LUMPS at all!!! What a time and dish saver! And cleaning? I just run it under hot running water to get the shaft cleaned and then spin it up in a dish with hot running water for a few moments, then spin it on high for a few seconds in the air to dry it off instantly. Now, I'll be honest here, too. The specs say it can go months on a charge, using it for a couple minutes a couple times daily. Well, I guess it could do that and still spin. But I use it FULL SPEED, churning hard for at least a minute a couple times per day. After about 2 weeks, I can start to notice a speed reduction so I just plug it back in on the charger. All things considered, this is still better than all the other handheld frothers I've used over the years. After using the heck out of this thing for the past 7 months, I've even decided to start selling these in our Japanese gift shop. The manufacturer is has been very responsive both in customer support (I called them about an issue I thought I was having, and they called me back with a couple hours even though I didn't leave voicemail when they didn't answer right away) and in reseller support. I have to give these guys an A+ for responsiveness and quick resolution when problems might arise. HIGHLY recommended!!
