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.

Too firm throughout, but no support
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Yellow
I like the feel of the fabric but it's honestly not comfortable for me. The stuffing makes the pillow way too firm and I wake up with sore neck muscles. I do appreciate the body length, (I am 5'3) and it's comfortable for a little while, but not for the whole night. Especially because I have to get up multiple times to use the bathroom, and this pillow just gets in the way. I decided to just use three different pillows for my head, my legs and my arms/back at all different firmness so I get the support I need. If you are able to deal with the firmness of the pillow throughout, this might be a good option for you. I also ordered the cooling option and this does not help keep me cool at night. Even with the AC on and the fan running. It sleeps hot. I ended up storing it back in its vacuumed sealed bag and put it away.

Who Says Pregnancy Pillows Are Just for Pregnancy?
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey, Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
I bought this pregnancy pillow even though I’m not pregnant, and I have zero regrets! This thing is incredibly comfortable and provides support in all the right places. Whether I’m sleeping, reading, listening to an audiobook, or just relaxing in bed, it helps me get comfortable and stay comfortable. I love being able to hug one side while supporting my back with the other. It feels like being surrounded by pillows without having to constantly rearrange them throughout the night. The only downside is that it takes up a decent amount of bed space, but honestly, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. My family may disagree. 😆 If you’re considering this pillow but aren’t pregnant, don’t let the name stop you. Comfort is for everyone!

comfortable and firm!!
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey, Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
this pillow is huge i’m 5’8 and it’s perfect, as soon as i laid down it relived pressure in my back, i get hot fast and you can feel the cooling silk like texture, it’s weighted aswell, as soon as i opened it, it fluffed up an it’s been about 2 hours since and it’s already huge, it says 24-48 hrs to fluff up fully but idk how much bigger it could get lol it’s definitely worth the few extra dollars

I must have for pregnant women! Definitely helps sleep and comfort for sleeping!!
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey, Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
I do love this pillow, it does take up a lot of space on my queen bed! But when I wrap my legs around the pillow, it gives me much relief on my back! It also has basically a built-in pillow so you don’t even need to use a pillow! I love that I was able to unzip the outer material and wash it! You can use it to sit up and support your back, and when the baby comes, you can use to help with feeding! sometimes I have to turn it completely on the other side if I want to turn over, it’s big!! heavy! Very soft! Not flat at all! Firmness is great! Height is great! I highly recommend! I’m also five months! i got it about 2 months ago!!

Buy this one!
Size: 65 Inch, Color: Light Grey
This was a great buy! I looked through many many different options before buying and this one was the one I chose. Definitely a good choice. It keeps its shape and is cool to the touch which is amazing for a hot sleeper. It helps so much with my sore hips being 7 months pregnant. Fits great on my queen size bed with room still got my partner to sleep comfortably as well. Definitely recommend!
