Alocasia odora ‘California’

Alocasia odora ‘California’ is a compact green elephant-ear Alocasia with broad upright leaves, softly waved margins and prominent sunken veins. It has the broad green leaves typical of Alocasia odora, but stays smaller than many giant elephant-ear types. Established plants often produce offsets, so a single plant can gradually form a fuller pot.

The leaves are smooth green, broad and slightly oval, with softly wavy to slightly uneven margins. The midrib and primary veins are prominent and set into the leaf surface. Compared with Alocasia macrorrhizos, this plant stays more compact and has a more oval leaf shape.

Alocasia odora has a broad Asian range, from eastern India through parts of mainland and island Asia to southern Japan and Borneo. This plant has often been sold as Alocasia gageana, but Alocasia odora ‘California’ is now the better name for it.

The accepted species name, Alocasia odora (G.Lodd.) Spach, was published in 1846. The epithet odora refers to fragrance, linked with the scented flower structures of the species. ‘California’ is a cultivated name and does not mean the plant comes from California.

This plant grows larger and uses more water than small jewel Alocasia types, so it needs a steadier water supply and a more stable pot. It can work as a bright indoor floor plant, conservatory plant or sheltered warm-season outdoor plant after acclimation. It grows well indoors with bright light, root space and a stable container as the leaves increase in size.

Care

  • Light for broad green leaves: Give bright indirect light. It can take gentle morning or late-day sun after acclimation, but avoid harsh midday sun behind glass.
  • Watering a larger pot plant: Water when the top layer or upper 20–30% of the mix has dried. Large active plants should be watered before the whole pot dries completely.
  • Cooler periods: Reduce watering when light and temperature drop. This plant is more cool-tolerant than many tender Alocasia, but a cool wet pot can still damage the base.
  • Fertile open mix: Use a fertile but airy mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding component.
  • Stable container: Use a pot that balances the leaf weight. Increase pot size gradually as roots fill the space.
  • Temperature range: Active growth is best around 18–30 °C. Keep cooler plants drier rather than wet and cold.
  • Moderate humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually fine when light, warmth and watering are steady.
  • Steady feeding: Feed regularly but moderately during active growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Gradual repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix breaks down. Move up gradually instead of placing it straight into a very large pot.
  • Offset division: Divide rooted offsets or firm rhizome sections only when each piece has roots and a clear growing point.
  • Warm-season outdoor use: If used outdoors in warm weather, acclimate gradually and bring it back inside before cool wet periods.

Issues

  • Soft lower stems or base: Usually cold wet substrate, oversized pots or poor drainage. Check roots before the base collapses.
  • Large leaves drooping: Can come from underwatering, root loss, sudden temperature shifts or an unstable pot.
  • Lower leaves yellowing: One ageing leaf is normal. Several yellow leaves at once usually point to root stress, low light or a wet pot.
  • Brown margins: Drying too far, fertiliser salts, hard water or low humidity during leaf expansion can mark the edges.
  • Small new leaves: Often caused by weak light, depleted substrate, restricted roots or recent division.
  • Leaning growth: Large leaves can pull the plant toward the light. Rotate the pot occasionally and use a heavier container as the plant grows.
  • Crowded offsets: Offsets can make watering uneven when the pot becomes packed. Separate them only once they have roots.
  • Mites and thrips: Spider mites and thrips can settle on undersides and new leaves, especially in warm dry indoor air.

Safety

Alocasia odora ‘California’ contains calcium oxalate crystals, so plant material can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning or dividing offsets.

A stable pot, bright light and steady moisture help this compact elephant-ear form grow broad green leaves.

The Perfect Digital Watch with all the Bells & Whistles!
Color: Black/Gray
I always buy this kind of watch, and so does my adult daughter. It has a timer, 3 alarm settings, push button light, easy to set, and other features that I don't use, like, track timers, Occasion settings, Beeps & Chimes, On or Off. I use it for timing my Laundry, taking pills, timing things in the kitchen. I just can't live without it! My daughter used it for timing on her Breast Feeding Schedule, so no matter what room she was in, or what she was doing, she would always hear that alarm!

The 34mm face strikes a perfect balance, providing clear visibility of the time without feeling bulky on the wrist. One of the standout features of this timepiece is its reliability.

The durable resin strap and casing can withstand the wear and tear of an active lifestyle, ensuring longevity. The watch's functionality is where it truly shines. The digital display is easy to read, and the Indiglo backlight is a game-changer in low-light conditions. The 30-lap memory is a handy feature for tracking workouts or laps in the pool, while the countdown timer and alarm add practicality for daily use. Setting and adjusting the time and date are straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly interface. The watch also offers a dual time zone feature, making it a great companion for travelers. Battery life is impressive, providing long-lasting performance without the need for frequent replacements. This is a crucial aspect for those who rely on their timepiece during outdoor adventures or extended periods away from a power source.

The Best for Athletics
Color: Black/Gray
This is a sleek, light wristwatch that will not weigh you down with its bulk. Forget the gigantic profile of a "survivalist" wristwatch. This unisex model is svelte and slim, not adding much to the wake you generate while swimming, or the swing of your arms while running, or the wind as it passes around your wrists and hands while you are speeding by on your racing bike. This is only 34mm across, by 35mm tall, by 11.5mm thick. The wristband is 13mm at its median working width. Timex styling cannot be beat, and neither is the resin-rubber-like material. I don't know about you, but the price is something I take a good look at. I want a watch that is reasonably priced and high-quality. I don't want to spend $200 to $1000 on a watch and worrying about being careful with it. If it gets smashed, it's only $30 to $50, not a big loss, and the quality is way better than what they were making in the 1980's. These watches are made for athletics and the real world.

Great watch, flimsy band
Color: Gray/Lilac
I bought this watch to replace a similar model because the band broke. I see this is a recurrent problem in many other reviews. However, I liked the watch enough to buy it again anyway. I found the new model easy to set, being fairly intuitive. So far it keeps perfect time. I use this watch mainly as a travel watch, and loved the dual time zone function. I am pleased that the newer model now has the ability to set 3 times zones instead of 2, which is an added bonus. The only con I see at this point is the flimsy strap. Unfortunately, the strap on this model is even thinner than on the previous one, and I wonder how long it will last. Also I wonder about the battery length. I think these watches may have been sitting around a long time. The setting showed 2012. I am afraid much of the battery life of the original battery may have already been used up and the battery may need replacing early. Only time will tell. The watch fits my small wrist fine and it is a little more attractive than the old model. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the band problem.
