Alocasia odora 'California'

Alocasia odora 'California' is a green elephant-ear Alocasia with broad upright leaves and thick petioles. It carries the generous leaf shape of Alocasia odora and develops a broad green outline in bright indoor growing.

The leaves are bright to medium green, softly pleated between the veins and held above the pot on strong stems. In a bright room, conservatory or sheltered warm-season position, the plant creates a full green canopy with little pattern or heavy texture on the blades.

Broad green elephant-ear foliage

  • Species: Alocasia odora is a broad-leaved Asian species from warm, wet habitats.
  • Leaf shape: Large heart-to-arrow-shaped blades with a smooth green surface.
  • Habit: Upright rhizomatous growth that can form a fuller clump with age.
  • Container use: larger potted plant for bright indoor floors, conservatories and sheltered warm-season positions.

Growing Odora California in a pot

This plant has a higher water demand during warm active growth than small jewel Alocasia. The substrate should hold enough moisture for large leaves while staying coarse enough that the lower pot remains oxygenated.

  • Light: In consistent indirect light, petioles stay firm and broad leaves expand cleanly. Acclimate slowly before any gentle outdoor sun.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper few centimetres dry. Reduce frequency as temperature and light drop.
  • Substrate: Use a fertile aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding component.
  • Pot choice: Use a weighty pot that balances the leaf weight and gives roots room as the plant matures.
  • Temperature: Maintain warmth above 18 °C, with active growth around 20–30 °C.
  • Humidity: A even humidity level lets wide leaves expand smoothly.
  • Fertilising: Apply balanced fertiliser at moderate strength through active growth.
  • Propagation: Divide established offsets or firm rhizome sections during active growth; each piece needs firm tissue, roots and a visible growing point.
  • Mineral substrates: Use inert mineral or semi-hydro culture only after careful transition, with shallow water levels and the base above the wettest layer.
  • Seasonal placement: Move outdoor summer plants back inside before cool nights and wet autumn weather.

Broad leaves after watering shifts

  • Soft lower stems: Check for cold wet substrate and reduce watering until warmth and root activity return.
  • Drooping leaves: Review water uptake, pot stability and sudden temperature changes.
  • Brown margins: Balance watering depth, humidity and fertiliser strength.
  • Pest damage: Inspect undersides regularly for spider mites and thrips.

Scented elephant-ear foliage indoors

Alocasia odora 'California' is toxic if chewed. Place it away from pets and children, and handle sap with care.

Odora name and California form

The genus name Alocasia is formed in relation to Colocasia. The species epithet odora comes from Latin and refers to fragrance, a name connected with the scented inflorescences of the species.

A warm, bright pot gives Alocasia odora 'California' the room to build its broad green canopy.

They fit super snug and the quality is way better than price suggests.
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
They came in wrapped very well in foam and bubble wrap. They felt sturdy and the matte finish was satisfactory. They needed quite some pressure to snap in but when they did you could tell they weren’t going anywhere. The fitment is perfect and it looks great. If the stubs in the car where the grille clips attach are in tact you shouldn’t have a problem. Don’t be discouraged by the negative reviews.

Good value for the money
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
The matte is flawless and looks pristine & super easy to install. It does fit and it’s a good enough fit for a daily driver; however, it’s not a flawless fit. It’s off by maybe a 1/16th on the inside corners. It’s amazingly close despite the price point…would definitely recommend.

VERY poor materials and fit for E46, WILL FALL OUT
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005, Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
This part resembles the original, but not enough. It is both too big AND too small, depending on the dimensions. It's too small from top to bottom, and too big from side to side. The locking tabs don't get close enough to lock (see pics) because there is too little clearance. Viewing from the front, the outer top corner is so far out (see pics) that the most important tab cannot properly lock in, causing the grill to drop out into my hand (or the ground, if I wasn't there to catch it). The grill also is missing some important curves to follow the shape it is supposed to fit into. It also wasn't matte black as ordered. It looks like it was spray-painted, but I can't be sure. it is made of VERY brittle plastic, and the locking tabs are VERY small and flimsy. I wouldn't expect this part to survive a month or two before blowing away in a medium breeze. One positive is that there is a relief cut to allow the hood safety catch handle to move fully upward without interfering with the plastic grille. That one positive has a lot of making up to do, and there's no way it can do it. Add to that that the seller included instructions for a car fifteen years newer than the model advertised on the item page, and we have a complete failure. But don't worry! I'm sure the seller will probably delete the listing and make a new one so they don't have to have this honest review attached to it.

Quality grills for e46 BMW
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
No reason to buy replacement grills at the dealer or even at an auto parts store. These are great quality for a fraction of the price...and you get both sides. Highly recommended if you have an e46 and the grill plastic has deteriorated and is loose. These grills are thick and robust. I like them better than the original. Fit is snug but they look great.
