Colocasia Coal Miner 2 Live Starter Plants – Colocasia ‘Coal Miner’

This listing includes 2 live Colocasia ‘Coal Miner’ starter plants, an ornamental elephant ear cultivar appreciated for its dramatic dark foliage and tropical appearance. These are young starter plants, and the smaller plants pictured represent the general stage you can expect to receive. Individual plants naturally vary in foliage, color, shape, and overall appearance.

The plants have fully established root systems and are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots. The nursery pots are not included. Plants are shipped with their soil pods carefully wrapped for transit; please do not remove or disturb the soil pod unnecessarily upon arrival.

Important Shipping Condition: Colocasia starter plants are delicate and may lose leaves or arrive with damaged, wilted, yellowing, or dead foliage due to shipping stress. Leaf loss does not necessarily indicate that the established root system is no longer viable. New foliage may develop after the plant adjusts to suitable growing conditions. Please order only if you are comfortable receiving a starter plant that may have significant foliage loss during transit.

Colocasia ‘Coal Miner’ has an upright, clumping growth habit and is suitable for containers as well as ornamental tropical plant collections. It generally prefers abundant light, moisture-retentive soil, and consistent moisture during active growth.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
