Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Splash’, commonly known as the Variegated Giant Taro, is a spectacular tropical plant admired for its dramatic size and striking variegation. A rare cultivar of the Alocasia macrorrhiza species, this variety is highly prized by collectors for its splashed and marbled foliage, where every leaf displays a unique mix of green, white, and creamy-yellow patterns.

Native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, this member of the Araceae family grows into an architectural showpiece. The enormous, heart-shaped leaves can reach impressive sizes, held high on thick, pale green petioles streaked with creamy variegation. Each leaf is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, with irregular patches and splashes of white that give the plant its distinctive name.

Perfect as a statement plant for large spaces, conservatories, or tropical-style interiors, Alocasia ‘Splash’ combines size, presence, and beauty in a single extraordinary specimen.


Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Splash’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the white or cream areas of the leaves, while too little light may reduce variegation. East- or north-facing windows are ideal, or filtered light in a bright room.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, and ensure excess water can drain freely. Alocasias dislike sitting in standing water. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows, allowing the soil to dry slightly more between waterings.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 20–30°C. Protect from draughts and temperatures below 16°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) to maintain lush foliage and prevent crisping. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place near other tropical plants to increase moisture levels.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix — peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and allow the roots space to grow. Ensure the pot has good drainage holes.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser to support vigorous growth. Avoid over-fertilising, especially as the variegated parts of the leaves contain less chlorophyll.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to encourage new growth. Wipe the large leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their glossy surface and variegation.

Growth and Maturity

A large, fast-growing tropical that can reach 1.5–2 metres indoors and even taller in conservatory or greenhouse conditions. The massive leaves, often over 60 cm long, create an impressive, exotic focal point.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Fading variegation: Insufficient light.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites, thrips, or mealybugs — inspect regularly and maintain high humidity.

Background and Benefits

Alocasia macrorrhiza, also known as the Giant Taro or Elephant Ear, is native to the tropical rainforests of Asia and the Pacific. The ‘Splash’ cultivar adds rare variegation to this already iconic species, making it one of the most visually dramatic Alocasias in cultivation.

Its bold form and mottled variegation make it a showstopper for large interiors, garden rooms, and collector displays. Like other Alocasias, it also helps purify the air, contributing to a cleaner and fresher indoor environment.


Quick Care Summary

  • Light: Bright, indirect; avoid direct sun

  • Water: Keep evenly moist; allow topsoil to dry slightly

  • Temperature: 20–30°C; avoid below 16°C

  • Humidity: High (60–80%)

  • Soil: Chunky, free-draining aroid mix

  • Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer

    Does the job!
    Puts in the work! Knocked out my driveway no problem. Unsure about longevity but it’s great for a homeowner. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Adjustment is nice along with the guide plate.

    Easy to use for a clean looking cut!
    I do wish there was a cordless version but I'm so glad I bought this. It took some time to edge everything the first time because I had to cut the lines but it's been a breeze ever since. I just walk the perimeter of the yard and driveway and it does it's job with ease. The front wheel has three settings which determines how far down the blade cuts and the blade has two settings for edging or trenching. The handle is stationary but it can be lifted up or down. There's a guideline on top of the blade guard that helps identify where the blade is going to make the cut. TIP: Lean it back on the back wheels before pulling the trigger and slowly bring it down because it will jump if the blade isn't lined up and touches the concrete. It doesn't roll well in the grass but it's very smooth when rolled on the concrete. It's definitely worth having to give a clean and finished look. It's well built and isn't too heavy but definitely has some weight to it. It's only loud when the blade hits the concrete otherwise it sounds like a drone. The only complaint I have is that I have to watch the cord closely other than that it's the perfect tool to give a clean look to the yard.

    Great tool, well worth the money!
    I'm thrilled and pleased with the Worx edger. I bought it because it's electric, cheaper than other styles and I don't have to fool with a 2 stroke engine. I bought Worx, because it has a good guide to help me keep the blade away from the sidewalk, as well as a white mark on the housing to give a general idea of where the blade was. Also I thought it seemed to have a good engine. Now I'm sure it has a good engine. I looked at 3 other comparable trimmers, and because of the guide and engine, chose Worx. I read the 1 star reviews, many of the 5 star reviews and in between, as well as all the specifications I could. One of the competitors was attractive to me, but the 1 stars indicated there was a small tendency for the engine to quit. There were many less reviews for most of the models and many for that one, but I chose this one for the same amperage of engine, but less HP, which might, in my mind, over-work the engine which would account for it being ruined. One had a better warranty, but Amazon offered 2 more years for about $750, so I upgraded the warranty to 4 years,I have Tall Fescue grass in sandy loam soil in SE Wyo because of drought resistance, and it's a Northern grass). The grass is taller and tough as well as more in clumps. The ground probably is much easier to work than clay. The edger handled the tall grass ok, with all the clippings which had accumulated. I It was a long hard job to do the first trimming, and I was impressed with the 'Worx. I tried not to work it harder than necessary but it took more than 5 or 6 hours of work. I used the blade down almost to the long hole marker and had parts of 2 teeth left. It worked well; didn't clog; had power. Didn't ruin the engine. Didn't work me hard! I had to tighten the blade after about 10 feet, but only that once. In one area I had to run it on the wrong side, with the wheels on the grass. It worked ok, but worked much better where it was possible to put the wheels on the cement, and thus use the guide! It would be nice to be able to move the handle and the guide to the other side instead of the way I did it. The cord holder worked poorly for a 3 wire 12 gauge extension cord, but worked fine when I got out the smaller 14 g. The metal trimmer guide that helps hold the blade away from the side walk pulls up for use of the edger as a trencher. My lawn looks terrific. The blades were MUCH more expensive than the B & D; so before I bought Worx, I searched the internet and found an electric company which had a 3 pack of original equipment blades for it for $28, and on sale for $22. I scored on the tool, and on the blades! PTL!!

    Great but could be Epic
    If you’re looking for a solid edger for sidewalks and driveways, this is a great tool. It’s powerful, well-built, easy to assemble, and simple to use. For edging, I would definitely recommend it. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as a true trencher. I bought it for both purposes but mainly needed it for trenching. The maximum cutting depth is only about 1.5 inches, which isn’t deep enough for most garden borders or running cable. In my opinion, a real trencher should be able to reach at least 3 inches deep. The limitation comes down to the blade size and guard design. WORX could improve this model with a larger blade guard and additional wheel depth settings. If they released a version capable of 3–3.25 inch trenching depth, it would really stand out in the market. Overall, it’s an excellent edger, just not a true trencher.

    Works Great!
    Much quieter than I was expecting. Lawn had needed this for years, I regained 6"-10" of driveway/sidewalk back. Makes the rest of the neighborhood look bad LOL Only the cleaning up wore me out, but it should be much easier next time.
