The Golden Light in a Tropical Planting
There are foliage plants that add colour, and then there are plants that add light. Colocasia ‘Maui Gold’ belongs firmly in the second category. Those large, heart-shaped leaves in luminous chartreuse to golden-yellow don’t merely brighten a planting — they illuminate it, throwing warmth and radiance into shaded corners and mixed borders with an effect that no green-leafed plant can replicate.
In the wet tropics it stays evergreen year-round, growing with the vigour that the heat and humidity of the Cassowary Coast encourages — building quickly into the kind of lush, generous clump that fills space beautifully and keeps on performing without a break through every season.
The Filler Plant That Steals the Show
‘Maui Gold’ is, at its most practical, one of the finest filler plants available for the tropical garden. It establishes fast, covers ground generously, and suppresses weeds with the confidence of a plant that knows it belongs in the tropics. But unlike most filler plants, it refuses to be ignored — that golden foliage demands attention from right across the garden, making it as much a feature as it is a workhorse.

How We Pack
Every plant is soaked in a tri-kelp solution before packing to reduce transit stress and give your plants the best start. We pack using recycled boxes. Your plants travel secure, hydrated, and wrapped in materials we feel good about.
Where We Ship
We ship to QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC via Australia Post eParcel with tracking on every order. Flat rate shipping applies — see checkout for rates to your state. We are unable to ship to WA, SA, TAS or NT at this time.
When We Ship
Orders are picked and packed weekly. During extreme heat, we may hold your order for a cooler shipping window to protect your plants in transit — if this happens, we'll let you know via email. We don't ship into known heatwave conditions.
When Your Plants Arrive
Open your box as soon as possible. Even a few hours in a hot letterbox or on a doorstep can stress tropical plants. Give them a good drink of water and a light foliar spray of kelp solution, place them in a shaded spot for a day or two gradually increasing light to recover from transit, then plant out or pot up into their permanent position. Most plants bounce back quickly — new growth within a few weeks is normal. for more information https://elarishtropicalexotics.com.au/2026/07/25/what-to-do-when-your-mail-order-plants-arrive/
