The Alocasia 'Calidora', also known as Elephant Ear 'Calidora', is a herbaceous perennial hybrid from the Araceae family. This tropical plant is prized for its massive, attractive, and very tropical-looking leaves. It brings a spectacular touch and majestic allure to any interior or garden during the warm season.

Key Features

  • Foliage: Very large, glossy, bright green leaves, arrow-shaped and strongly ribbed.
  • Habit: Upright and erect, with clusters of long stems, forming a very attractive and imposing vase-shaped silhouette.
  • Growth: Moderate.
  • Care: Moderate to high. Requires specific light, water, and temperature conditions to thrive.
  • Appeal: Primarily cultivated for the impressive size and very tropical appearance of its foliage, which makes it a striking focal point.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright indirect light or dappled/partial sunlight. Avoid intense afternoon direct sun that can scorch the leaves. Indoors, place it near a bright window but protected from direct rays.
  • Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist but well-drained. The soil should never be waterlogged to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
  • Soil: Plant in a well-aerated and well-drained potting mix, rich in organic matter, that retains some moisture. An Aroid mix (such as equal parts coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark) is ideal.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity conditions, with humidity above 50%, ideally over 60%. A humidifier or grouping with other plants can help.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 29°C (65°F to 85°F). It is sensitive to cold and should never be exposed to temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Fertilization: Fertilize every 1 to 2 months in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce fertilization and watering in winter.
  • Pruning: Pruning is not strictly necessary, but old or damaged leaves can be removed to maintain aesthetics and redirect the plant's energy.
  • Propagation: Primarily by division of offsets.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years, or when the plant is root-bound, in spring. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage holes.

Caution: Alocasia 'Calidora' is considered toxic (moderate toxicity) to humans and pets if ingested. All parts of the plant (flowers, fruits, leaves, roots, sap/juice, stems, seeds) contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause painful irritation of the lips, mouth, tongue, and throat after chewing; difficulty speaking; nausea and diarrhea, vomiting, delirium, and death. Contact with the sap can also cause dermatitis. Handle with extreme caution and keep out of reach of children and animals.

Well-written, twisty novel for middle school children
Format: Kindle
This is Kelly’s second Newbery Medal, the first being for *Hello, Universe* in 2018. Both are well-written novels for middle-grade children and should have a lot of appeal for that age. It's the year 1999, early fall, an apartment complex in Delaware. 12-year-old Michael is worried that the Y2K bug will cause the collapse of civilization on January 1, 2000. He has been stealing cans of food to create an emergency stash under his bed. He has started a new school, and his only friends are the apartment complex maintenance man and his high-school-age after-school babysitter, Gibby. Michael’s father is dead, and his mother works long hours to make ends meet. One day a strange kid shows up in the complex, dressed in unusual clothing and asking odd questions like, “What year is this?” It doesn’t take an experienced science fiction reader to suspect that this kid, Ridge, is from the future. He is interested in observing late 20th Century American culture. But he also wants Michael and Gibby to help him figure out how to get back to the future without interfering with the past and thus changing his own timeline. The 1999 part of the story is interspersed with notes about the future and the panicked dialog of Ridge’s family as they try to investigate what happened to him. It probably doesn’t have many new ideas for adult readers, but it will be surprising and exciting for readers ages 12 and up

MUST READ!
Format: Hardcover
The First State of Being is set in 1999 during the uncertainty of Y2k. Michael Rosario doesn't have any friends, unless you count Mr. Mosley, the maintenance man in his apartment building, and his babysitter Gibby. Michael worries a lot about the future, his mom, and just about everything else. So when a mysterious teenager (Ridge) shows up near his apartment complex one day, and says he's from the future, Michael is determined to find out what's to become of the world when the year 2000 is here. Will Ridge be able to calm Michael's fears? Fans of A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga will love this story about family, friendship, time travel, and facing one's fears. Erin Entrada Kelly's voice makes this novel a must read. It's amazing!

Even a Gilded Cage, Is still a Prison that Prevents Us From Flying
Format: Kindle
Three cheers to Lee Winter and narrator Chelsea Stephens! Lee, I love the entire full circle journey you share with us for MCs Sienna and Jasmine. The souls of each are like a chemical reaction in that each is a catalyst to each other. Jasmine ignites a chain reaction in Sienna that launches her into the world and 10 years later Sienna ignites a chain reaction in Jasmine that frees her from her Gilded Cage. Lee, what a wonder to behold, when we allow ourselves to fly!

Something About This One
Format: Kindle
I found myself really really liking this one, despite initial misgivings. Sienna is hope and vision, and she was the perfect counterpoint for where Jasmine is on her growth journey. What I liked the most was both MCs frankness and maturity.
