Thailand Giant Elephant Ear (Colocasia gigantea 'Thailand Giant')
Thailand Giant Elephant Ear is a massive tropical foliage plant valued for its enormous leaves, fast warm-season growth, and dramatic landscape scale. Its huge gray-green to blue-green foliage can create a lush, resort-style effect in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, moist garden beds, and tropical-style landscapes. This is one of the largest elephant ears commonly grown by gardeners, making it best suited for spaces where its size can be fully appreciated. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and sun to partial shade, Thailand Giant Elephant Ear brings bold texture and impressive height to indoor and outdoor displays.
Distinctive Features
Thailand Giant Elephant Ear produces exceptionally large, heart-shaped to arrow-shaped leaves that may reach several feet long in warm, humid, well-grown conditions. The foliage is typically dull green to gray-green or blue-green and is held on thick, sturdy petioles that support the plant's giant tropical form. It grows quickly during warm weather and can create a major focal point in a single growing season when supplied with water, fertility, and heat. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its enormous foliage and commanding presence.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in very hot or dry climates to reduce stress on the large leaves.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
- Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
- USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 10 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
- Mature Size: Typically reaches about 6 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, while container-grown plants may stay smaller.
- Habit: Forms a massive upright to spreading tropical clump with huge leaves rising from the base on thick, sturdy petioles.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a giant tropical focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or spacious moist garden areas where its enormous leaves can stand out.
- Container Planting: Grow in a very large decorative pot where its massive foliage can create dramatic summer impact and be moved or protected before cold weather.
- Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or protected low areas where steady moisture can support strong growth.
- Tropical Garden: Pair with cannas, bananas, caladiums, gingers, coleus, and dark-leaved elephant ears to create a lush warm-season display.
- Backdrop Planting: Use at the back of large beds or along spacious edges where its height and leaf size can frame lower tropical and seasonal plants.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
- Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
- Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the enormous ornamental leaves.
- Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
- Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.
Why Choose Thailand Giant Elephant Ear?
- Enormous Foliage: Produces huge gray-green to blue-green leaves that bring unmatched tropical scale to containers and landscapes.
- Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, water, and fertility with impressive foliage production during the growing season.
- Dramatic Structure: Adds height, texture, and bold architectural presence without relying on flowers for ornamental impact.
- Moisture Loving: Performs best in consistently moist, fertile conditions where many bold tropical foliage plants thrive.
- High-Impact Display: Creates a lush resort-style effect for patios, pool areas, large beds, courtyard plantings, and tropical garden designs.
Thailand Giant Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want tropical foliage on a truly impressive scale. Its enormous leaves, vigorous growth, moisture-loving habit, and commanding presence make it a standout plant for large containers, patios, moist garden beds, and dramatic warm-season landscape designs.

The best business monitor
I have used many of the monitors in the Dell UltraSharp line and thought that my previous monitor, the U4021QW was the apex of Business monitors. The U4025QW improves on it in small but meaningful ways. Looking at the monitor, you can't visually tell the difference at first glance.
To me the ultra-wide curved monitor format is preferrable to dual monitors. The 5120 x 2160 / 21:9 screen ratio gives the business user more vertical space while not sacrificing the horizontal space. Many ultrawide monitors give you the width of 5120 but stick you with 1440 vertically. That resolution always felt cramped to me.
This connectivity on this monitor far exceeds its predecessor. It is upgraded from Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 4, adds 2 usb-c ports and one USB-A, giving a total of 5 USB-A and 5 USB-C. This allowed me to replace my old desktop dock and go with a direct connection to the monitor for everything.
When reading about the monitor, I thought the drop-down ports were a bit gimmicky, but it is a big improvement over the location on the previous model. This is very accessible and helps with wireless devices whose signal degrades by being placed behind the monitor.
The monitor is pricey, but I think it is worth it if you are on your computer all day every day. As on co-worker once said, the monitor is the part of the computer that we use 100% of the time we interact with it.

Extremely sturdy
Color: Black-Mount
I purchased this heavy-duty dual gaming monitor arm holder as a birthday gift for my husband to mount his curved gaming screens, and it completely transformed his setup. It feels extremely sturdy and well-built, easily supporting both monitors without any wobble or instability.
The adjustability is excellent. He can tilt, swivel, and reposition each screen with ease, which makes it perfect for both gaming and everyday computer use. It also helps clear up a lot of desk space, giving his setup a much cleaner and more organized look.
Installation was straightforward, and the mounting hardware felt solid and secure. Once everything was set up, the arms moved smoothly but stayed firmly in place when adjusted.
He absolutely loved it and immediately noticed how much more comfortable and immersive his gaming experience became. Overall, this is a high-quality, durable monitor mount that made a perfect upgrade for his gaming station and a great birthday gift.

The Product is Great - The Customer Service is Even Better
Color: Black-Mount
I want to preface by saying I have never written a review for a product on Amazon. Having said that I felt compelled to review this particular product after an incredibly positive interaction I had with AVLT.
I purchased this set of monitor arms due to the fact that my desk is relatively small, as is the space I have to work with while at my computer. I currently have two monitors, a 34" Samsung 2K monitor for gaming, and a 32" Samsung 1080p monitor. After purchasing this product and assembling it, I realized my 2nd monitor (32") was a few years too old and the bracket adapter for the monitor arm didn't fit. That was fine, as at least I had some extra space to work with until I got myself a new monitor to use with the other monitor arm. Fast forward several months and I finally had the monitor I needed - only to find out that I had lost or misplaced the additional bracket. So now I had 3 monitors and even less space to work with. After a lengthy search for a sufficient replacement part, I finally reached out to AVLT in desperation regarding this missing bracket. My query was answered by an employee named "George" the very same day, and within 48 hours I was able to secure the replacement bracket which is currently en route to my house from Taiwan. Alongside the headache of not being able to properly mount the monitors I had on hand, I start working from home this coming week, and my wife is currently 33 weeks pregnant. Needless to say, the ease with which I was able to negotiate this minor, yet irritating problem I was dealing with has helped me more than any Amazon review can ever repay. The help I received from George was simply outstanding, and I hope he receives the recognition he deserves from the company he works for. Sometimes even little things like a quick response can help people more than you realize. Thank you, George and AVLT!
Oh, and the monitor arms are great. They're sturdy (metal not plastic), firmly clamp to my desk, and are easily adjustable. As stated in some previous reviews, there is a bit of clearance needed behind your desk in order for these monitor arms to move about, but that's a minor inconvenience at worst. I recommend them, and the fact that the company is there to help should anything go awry is extremely helpful in a world where the emphasis on this seems to be fading away. If I ever need a product similar to this one, or know anyone who does, I will recommend AVLT products specifically based on the customer service I received (the product is awesome too).
Thanks again, George!

Sturdy and super strong
Color: Black-Mount
This product is very well made heavy duty no plastic parts basically all metal less than 1 % plastic.
Pro's holds monitors easily and one of mine weights 19.8 pounds according to the manufacture and the other one without stand that came with it weights 25 pounds don't know what they were thinking when they built that one hard to find arms to support that. But this arm system takes it like a pro yes you have to pay attention to which way you turn the adjustment screws but they are clearly marked. Had no problem assembling it or putting it together two installs one for a clamp on the edge one for a hole. I used the edge clamp and that beast is not coming off. I did tighten one side and then the other went back and forth between the two main screws until I got them equally tight to insure the monitors would not fall. They cost way more than this arm system.
Cons: There are 4 screws that hold the plate that holds the clamp screws plate. They are preinstalled and slip into a hole and slot configuration. Remove them completely and throw them out go to your local hardware store and get hardened screws they cost me about sixty cents apiece. I also got some washers and put them on the replacement bolts and affixed them so that the slot holes are basically just regular holes. I pushed the new screws down on the slot position and tightened. Now anyone that reads this I know is asking why? I'm 60 plus years old not a he-man or body builder never been actually been on the lighter side of strength. Not that I'm weak but in my day I have busted and broke things by overtightening those days are sadly gone. I did not use any extention or more commonly called a cheater bar on the allen wrench but 2 of the 4 screw heads stripped out and had to be removed with pliers. I also tried my set of allen wrenches on the screws thinking maybe cheap allen wrench no it was the screws that head that was I suspect too soft and it rounded out. Just pliers not vise grips so they were not terribly tight. I did not have to retap the holes so they were not cross threaded. 1 out of four that failed could be called a bad screw 2 out of four are cheap and not worth using and for that reason since they are a critical part of the clamp locking system I decided to get hardened screws which will probably not strip out or break the threads in the plate would probably tear out first and that would take some real doing. Outside of those screws and the expected failure of the cable holding plastic part that sits on the back of the clamp to hold cables and makes a nice place to store the allen keys to adjust the arm if needed that was a nice touch this thing is rock solid. Solution for the plastic cable holding part is simple a cable tie holds that in place yes it maybe a touch tacky but oh well hang me for wanting it to stay in place.
Yes, I would recommend this to someone and have
Yes, I think it is a good value
Yes, I think it is going to last a long time and the gas shocks seem to be strong
Yes, I would buy this again.
No, I do not think the problem I had should deter anyone from buying this just be aware that these screws might be soft and probably should be upgraded before assembling this thing the first time.
I would if the manufacture reads this recommend that they take a real good look at those screws and maybe see about getting a better grade. No I do not blame them they buy stuff and maybe not even be aware that the screws have a fair possibility of stripping out. But when someone puts $800.00 plus dollars on this it would really be stupid to have the problem I had and trust the other 2 screws to hold since I could not get 2 of them to tighten enough to take the wiggle out of the assembly.

Cord installation is difficult but works overall
Color: White-Mount
I have 2 monitors (27” and 24”) that I attached to my Pottery Barn corner desk with the c-clamp. The installation wasn’t that difficult - at first. Then I had to store the cords and wires and the plastic backing on the arms ALMOST burst at the seams trying to hold all of them. My husband and Dad had to step in and help me get the plastic backing on the arms WHILE holding the cords in place. Once the installation was complete it worked perfectly fine. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and no issues to date.
Additionally the manufacturer assumed that everyone has a CPU when MOST people use laptops because the plugs for the USB ports are attached to the backend of the device. Now I have to find a way to hide the cords.
It’s a great product that is strong and seems like it will last.
