Think of Emerald Isle like an understory plant you might find in a rainforest. The protection of a tall canopy of trees above and plentiful humidity will result in full, lush plants. It is stunning in large containers and landscapes if grown properly. Site it out of the way of strong winds that can tear its huge leaves. With more available root space and moisture, it will grow larger and faster than if grown in a smaller container with less available moisture.
Emerald Isle Alocasia is suitable for growing as a houseplant if outdoor conditions can be mimicked indoors, namely bright light and humidity. Allow the soil to dry slightly before you water it again. Spider mites and aphids can be problematic when grown indoors.
