Maui Gold Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta 'Maui Gold')
Maui Gold Elephant Ear is a bright tropical foliage plant valued for its chartreuse to golden yellow leaves, bold texture, and strong warm-season growth. Its large heart-shaped foliage brings a lighter, more colorful look to patios, poolside plantings, large containers, moist garden beds, and tropical-style landscapes. This selection is especially useful for adding contrast against dark foliage, deep green plantings, and brightly colored annuals. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and sun to partial shade, Maui Gold Elephant Ear creates a lush, high-impact display in indoor and outdoor spaces.
Distinctive Features
Maui Gold Elephant Ear produces large chartreuse to golden yellow leaves that brighten the landscape and stand out from darker green or purple foliage plants. The foliage is typically broad, heart-shaped, and held on sturdy petioles, creating the bold texture associated with Colocasia. Color is often strongest in bright light when moisture is consistent, while afternoon shade can help protect the foliage in very hot locations. Flowers may appear occasionally as a spathe and spadix, but this plant is grown primarily for its colorful foliage, tropical texture, and warm-season presence.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in very hot climates to protect the bright foliage from scorch.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, humusy, organically rich soil that stays consistently moist while still supporting healthy root growth.
- Water: Performs best with regular moisture during active growth and should not be allowed to dry out completely in warm weather.
- USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 11 in protected conditions, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter the tubers indoors.
- Mature Size: Typically reaches about 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide in favorable outdoor conditions, while container-grown plants may stay smaller.
- Habit: Forms an upright to spreading clump with broad golden foliage rising from the base on sturdy petioles.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a bright foliage focal point in large containers, patios, poolside plantings, courtyard beds, tropical-style landscapes, or moist garden areas where its golden leaves can stand out.
- Container Planting: Grow in a large decorative pot where its chartreuse to gold foliage can provide strong color and be moved or protected before cold weather.
- Moist Garden: Plant in consistently moist beds, rain gardens, or pond-edge settings where its love of moisture can support strong growth.
- Tropical Garden: Pair with cannas, bananas, caladiums, gingers, coleus, and dark-leaved elephant ears to create a lush warm-season display.
- Mixed Border: Use in large mixed beds where its bright foliage can add contrast, texture, and tropical scale behind lower plants.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in containers and hot summer weather.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around outdoor plants to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
- Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
- Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the large ornamental leaves.
- Overwintering: Lift and store tubers or move containers indoors before frost in climates where the plant is not reliably hardy.
- Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or frost-damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.
Why Choose Maui Gold Elephant Ear?
- Golden Foliage: Displays large chartreuse to golden yellow leaves that brighten containers, patios, and tropical-style garden beds.
- Bold Texture: Produces broad heart-shaped foliage that brings tropical scale and lush structure to warm-season plantings.

Didn't help for sleep
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
First of all, I want to mention that I do think this is a quality product. Sea-based magnesium has had a good effect on me before and with the combination of AstraGin and avocado oil, this is a solid list of ingredients. AstraGin is a patented proven combo of notoginseng and Astragalus that helps with absorption in small doses. This was my first time trying AstraGin and I was unsure about using it for nighttime use due to the notoginseng, which is stimulating. But I have seen this in some other sleep formulas and they claim it's only meant for absorption and shouldn't stimulate. The first time I tried it at night with some of my usual supplements, I fell asleep easily but all of a sudden woke up 2 hours later and couldn't go back to sleep for 1.5 hrs. I only drifted back to sleeping bc I was so awake and had to resort to THC gummies. I took a couple days off and tried it again and it was the same bad sleep. Your experience might be different from mine because I am very sensitive to a lot of supplements and I think the AstraGin just doesn't agree with my system but I wanted to let other sensitive people know so they can be cautious.

Naturally sourced, quality magnesium softgels, with bioavailability and absorption support.
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
As someone who’s been using magnesium for years and likes to rotate between different forms like glycinate, bisglycinate, citrate, and L-threonate. I’m always on the lookout for magnesium supplements with smart formulas, especially those that prioritize bioavailability and absorption, since I’ve had issues with nutrient absorption in the past. This marine derived magnesium in softgel form really stood out to me, as I prefer softgels for bioavailability and absorption support. I’ve never been able to find a quality, natural, non-synthetic magnesium supplement in softgel form but I feel like I finally have.This aquamin magnesium was completely new to me and I found it genuinely refreshing, as it’s a break from the usual synthetic forms. You can tell right away this isn’t just another basic magnesium supplement. I’m impressed by this being a natural form of magnesium that contains 72 trace minerals that are naturally sourced from clean Irish seawater and sustainably harvested.
I really appreciate the addition of avocado oil, as it helps support better absorption of magnesium. It's also a great source of healthy fats and antioxidants. Additionally this contains an ingredient completely new to me called AstraGin, which is naturally derived from astragalus and panax notoginseng. It was clinically shown to help support enhanced absorption. I really like seeing this in this supplement facts, it’s a big bonus for me, having nutrient absorption challenges. Although, anyone would benefit from high bioavailability and support for enhanced absorption. The focus on bioavailability and absorption was a big stand out, it’s exactly what I want to see in choosing a supplement. I usually use magnesium bisglycinate because of its high absorption, but this one actually claims even higher solubility compared to both glycinate and bisglycinate.
A serving size of three oblong softgels provide 600 mg of magnesium sourced from sea water, 990 mg of avocado oil and 33 mg AstraGin. I love that my body is getting the support of a new form of magnesium that is natural and pure with the benefits of avocado oil and additional absorption support. healthy fats, I found three softgels easy to swallow, but I can see how these might be more challenging to have to take three of this size for a serving. I had no aftertaste or stomach upset, these seem very gentle overall. This is a high-quality magnesium supplement that's naturally sourced, with a focus on bioavailability and absorption support, that’s been clinically tested, and made with purity and transparency in mind. This is a true standout in my magnesium rotation. If you're looking for a magnesium supplement, I highly recommend trying it.

Most Illuminating Psych Book I've Read
Format: Hardcover
As a psychiatrist, I have yet to read a more illuminating book on how mental illnesses can develop, and how to help patients' to become free of them.
Existential Psychotherapy presents a theory of the existential forces that drive all human beings--knowledge of death, of our aloneness in the world, and of "meaninglessness" (the utter inconsequence of our one life in the entirety of the universe). It shows how these forces are powerful influences in shaping human mental health and illness.
Other reviewers here point out that the basic existential issues Yalom presents are well-known to academics and to many literate people who are exposed to them in that good, broad, liberal arts education we (still?) get in college. But what Yalom achieves in this book, has not to my knowledge been accomplished before (nor since): a presentation of these ideas to an audience of clinicians in a lucid, beautifully written, way that is salient to the daily practice of psychotherapy.
Yalom is a rare psychiatrist who is not only a master of the art of teaching and practicing psychiatry, but for this book, ventured into philosophy, literature, history, and sociology, and then integrated the wisdom each brings to the study of human nature, into a clear and cohesive whole, a beautifully written theory of the existential dimension of men's fears, drives, and actions, and how this dimension creates mental illness or health, depending on how each person handles it.
What is amazing is how such a book is now buried in the archives of (relative) obscurity, while others, recycling the same old tired ideas, reign on.
So what do these lofty insights in Yalom's book contribute that is unique and powerful to us lowly practitioners toiling daily in our offices in the (seemingly more banal) task of helping patients with daily crises, complaints, resistance to change, and painful repetitions of self-destructive life choices?
One very important tool: a true understanding of the power of existential concerns, not only in creating mental illness and self-destructive life paths, but, by shining a light on them-- capturing that elusive force of change: MOTIVATION. This force, and how to harness it to help patients overcome their suffering, has for me been one of my greatest challenges as a doctor. And one for which most books on psychotherapy have fallen short in helping me tackle.
In the sections "death" and "will", (two of the four main sections in the book), Yalom forges a path that I could follow, to help my patients free themselves of the fears that block motivation for change. In short, Yalom shows how the anxiety about, (and thus avoidance of) awareness of our death and aloneness, can cripple us into denial, and resistance to changing those of our behaviors that shield us from these truths. But, these very fears, when faced and reframed--as the awareness of one's finite limits, and of the freedom that comes along with one's aloneness, become extremely potent engines for change. Other peoples' judgements, and fear of failure, lead us to believe that the human "judges" are the most important threat in our lives. But in Yalom's world, these feared judgements pale in comparison to the the consequences of inaction. When we live with acute awareness that we waste our only life when we are beholden to judges who are after all, mortal and alone just like us, this can shake us up to MOVE and LIVE, in this finite life, in a way other insights cannot.
This example of how avoidance of existential fears leads to anxiety, low self-worth, and depression, is but one vignette in this book. Yalom applies his theory to the gamut of mental illness, and includes discussion of how narcissism, perversions, obssessions, masochism, sadism, ...the list goes on, are fueled by existential concerns. Yalom argues that they all boil down to one of two main strategies we humans employ to "forget" Death, Aloneness, and Meaninglessness: Either we escape too much into the protective cover of the GROUP, and become mindless group robots who drone through life until illness, or loss forces us to suddenly face our mortality, at which point many of us panic, or become depressed, OR, we get sucked into this defiant delusion : "I am SPECIAL"...smarter, more rebellious, unfettered by the social conventions of meek men, thus free of death's jaws". This reaction then can lead to reckless, impulsive, pseudo "powerful" behaviors that are often the fuel of many "acting out" mental problems: addiction, sociopathy, sadism, and narcissism.
Enough of my words-read and feel the power of Yalom's words in this great book.
