Borneo Giant Elephant Ear (Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Borneo Giant')
Borneo Giant Elephant Ear is a dramatic tropical plant valued for its massive upright leaves, bold structure, and fast-growing warm-season presence. Its oversized green foliage creates an immediate tropical look in patio containers, poolside plantings, large garden beds, and frost-free landscapes. In cold climates, it can be grown as a seasonal outdoor feature or kept in a large container and moved indoors before frost. With warmth, rich soil, steady moisture, and protection from harsh wind, Borneo Giant Elephant Ear brings impressive scale and lush texture to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Distinctive Features
Borneo Giant Elephant Ear is known for its enormous green leaves, which can reach several feet long under warm, humid, well-grown conditions. The leaves are held upright on sturdy petioles, giving the plant a tall, architectural look rather than a low spreading habit. In tropical and subtropical climates, mature plants can become very large, while container-grown or indoor plants usually remain smaller. Flowers may occur on mature plants as a spathe and spadix, but this selection is grown primarily for its bold foliage and commanding tropical form.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in bright indirect light, filtered sun, or partial shade, with protection from harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the large leaves.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil that holds consistent moisture without staying stagnant or sour.
- 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 9 to 11, while colder climates should treat it as a seasonal patio plant, houseplant, or overwintered container plant.
- Mature Size: Typically reaches about 6 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 7 feet wide outdoors in warm climates, while indoor or container plants usually stay smaller.
- Habit: Forms a large upright tropical plant with massive leaves rising from a clumping base on tall, sturdy stems.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a bold tropical focal point in large containers, poolside plantings, patios, courtyard gardens, or protected landscape beds where its oversized foliage can stand out.
- Patio Container: Grow in a large decorative pot to create dramatic summer height and texture that can be moved or protected before frost.
- Tropical Garden: Plant in warm, frost-free landscapes with bananas, cannas, caladiums, gingers, and other bold foliage plants for a lush layered effect.
- Indoor Feature: Use in bright interior spaces with enough room, warmth, and humidity to support its large leaves and upright growth.
- Poolside Planting: Place in protected poolside or patio areas where its broad foliage can add resort-style texture without needing flowers for impact.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water regularly during active growth to keep the soil evenly moist, then reduce watering when growth slows in cooler seasons.
- Humidity: Provide higher humidity when grown indoors or in dry climates to help reduce leaf edge browning and stress.
- Wind Protection: Site in a sheltered location because strong wind can tear or damage the large ornamental leaves.
- Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support large foliage and vigorous growth.
- Overwintering: Move container plants indoors before frost or protect dormant plants in mild climates according to local winter conditions.
- Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, torn, or spent leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.
Why Choose Borneo Giant Elephant Ear?
- Massive Foliage: Produces oversized green leaves that create bold tropical impact in containers and landscapes.
- Architectural Form: Adds strong upright structure and height without relying on flowers for visual interest.
- Fast Warm-Season Growth: Responds quickly to heat, moisture, and fertility with impressive foliage production during the growing season.
- Container Friendly: Works well in large patio pots where it can be featured outdoors in summer and protected from cold weather.
- Tropical Effect: Brings lush resort-style texture to patios, pool areas, garden beds, and bright indoor spaces.
Borneo Giant Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want a tropical plant with serious scale, texture, and visual impact. Its enormous upright leaves, fast warm-season growth, and commanding form make it a standout option for large containers, protected landscapes, patios, and dramatic foliage-focused plantings.

Very capable large format color inkjet printer
This thing is big. It’s replacing our Brother color laser, which didn’t get a lot of use (but is great for quick and cheap prints).
The HP is longer in one dimension but less tall, so is roughly occupying the same space but with more wall visible (so looks less intrusive).
Heavy. I could (and did) lift it on my own but all the packing and instructions say for 2 people to lift it. It’s manageable but I see why there’s that warning.
Build quality is mostly plastic but sturdy enough for a static object. Scan lid opens easily, trays extend smoothly etc. Feels well build overall, no concerns.
You can download installation instructions using a QR code and it’ll guide you to also install the HP app. The app ideally requires an account, mandatory if you plan to free trial the Instant Ink I think.
I had an existing old HP account and used that. The setup was way enough but there’s a weird UI step in the app during pairing where the setup modal is blank grey with a greyed out “Next” button. Looks like it can’t find the printer. Wrong! Just hit Next to proceed. Weird and stupid and I wasted time figuring it out. Loses a star for that.
Other than that, setup went fine and test print came out decent. WiFi connected ok and it also has Ethernet. The Brother only has WiFi but is flaky / goes to deep sleep too often. Testing with WiFi has been fine but I feel better knowing I can hardwire into my switch if there are issues! The HP shows on the network as an AirPrint target, and my Mac found it without issue / set up its own drivers.
The fold out touch screen is nice, I wish it could be angled horizontally and not just vertically but it’s fine and responds predictably to touch.
Colors and text are bright and crisp. Not quite laser crisp but pretty darn close to these old eyes. The colors are also better / truer in my opinion.
Had issues with feeding vinyl sticker paper sheets, which repeatedly generated paper jam messages (at no point was the paper jammed) and wasted a lot of time. Willing to blame the paper / media (it’s slightly tacky) but our laser handled it ok.
When it finally did print, I noticed some print quality issues / flaws repeatedly in the same places. Unsure of the cause and doesn’t impact subsequent printouts on other paper.
Really like the ability to print larger (A3!) size. Note that scanning does not accommodate larger papers (up to Legal / same as the Brother).
The supplied ink installed easily but they shipped me more as part of the Instant Ink trial. Subscribed to the lowest tier, which is affordable-ish (they just raised the lowest tier to $1.99 for 10 prints per month) but still costlier than laser. Not a huge fan of vendor lock-in / subs but did see in the fine print that HP allows third party inks to be used, which is reassuring if the subscription doesn’t make sense long term.
While printing, the motion of the printer head caused my desk to shake. Worth bearing in mind if you plan on printing heavily while sharing a desk with it. Noise isn’t too bad, better than the laser printing noise we’re used to (lower frequency noise on the HP). I would not print during a zoom call though (noise + shaking).
At time of review, $350 for a large format printer with built in scanning (and Ethernet) seems pretty decent. It’s not a bargain but it’s fair.
Need to spend more time with other media and have ordered more paper types to test with. Will update if anything changes my rating but so far I feel like it’s a capable replacement for the color laser given our relatively modest print volume and need for higher quality color prints.

Wireless connectivity is stable and easy to set up, with good support for mobile printing from phones and laptops. It integrates smoothly into typical office networks.

Definitely Not Your Average Home Printer
What a beast of a printer. First thing to know is this is definitely not your standard little home office printer size. This thing is more small business office sized, so make sure you actually have room for it before it arrives.
That said, the quality is exactly what I expect from HP. Setup was super easy and pretty painless overall. One quick tip though: remember to remove the cardboard insert from the paper tray before testing it because apparently I needed that reminder myself.
Print quality is excellent, especially for color documents and larger format stuff. Everything comes out sharp, vibrant, and professional looking.
The phone app is honestly one of my favorite parts. It makes it really easy to monitor ink levels, print from your phone, and troubleshoot without having to stand in front of the printer pushing buttons and getting annoyed.
The touchscreen is responsive, wireless setup was smooth, and overall it just feels like a solid well thought out machine. Definitely overkill for someone who only prints a return label twice a year, but if you print a lot or need larger format printing, this thing is fantastic.

Decent printer
The print quality and speed are great. I currently have several different printers for various needs (laser for work, sublimation for crafting, and this one is potentially replacing my ink jet, for stickers) and this one is faster and a nicer quality print than my similarly priced of a different brand. Sometimes (and for literally no reason that I've been able to identify) this printer decides it doesn't want to print. Exactly like every other printer I've ever owned, connectivity can feel chaotic.
Overall, all things considered, I think this a decent value for the money. It was easy to set up and get printing. Minimal packaging. Intuitive design. Up and printing within 5 minutes. I love the ability to print is larger formats.
I did not sign up for the free 3 months of ink club, so cannot comment on that. So far, the ink consumption feels typical for an inkjet printer.
Overall, this is a yes from me.

requirement: scan codes & down load proprietary app to set up & use all the functions of the unit
SPECS
The printer weighs 39.19 pounds. Overall it is 22.625 x 17.5 x 12.03125 inches. The output tray extender sticks out 5.875 inches from the unit. The usable power cord length is 59.5 inches.
The unit can use legal [B00006GNXZ], letter [B0B57CKBCT], or ledger [B0017LR3M4] size paper.
The control panel tilts up and is a color touch screen. The display is 2.125 x 1.625 inches. The unit has two sided coping, scanning, and printing. There is a document feeder on the top.
The home screen has menu, copy, scan, trays, supplies, jobs, and help as the main functions. Firmware updates can be set to automatic, notify, or disabled. The printer does not come with a user manual.
OVERVIEW
The unit comes wrapped in a plastic bag that has handles on each side. I was able to easily lift the printer up myself using the handles and took it to the desk.
The printer is missing some key features that do not make the printer cost effective. There is only one print tray. A fold out rear tray vertical tray is not even there. Having to constantly change paper size is an extreme inconvenience. There is no USB port to be able to print from or scan documents to a USB hard drive or directly from a camera, which is a disadvantage.
In addition, to utilize all the features a code needs to be scanned and or the H P app needs to be used. I did not like having to scan a code to set up and connect to wireless connection as well as using any of the scan features of email, network folder, computer, and share point, which makes the scan option useless. I had to download the HP app to set up the printer. When I was done I deleted the app. I do not want numerous apps on my devices.
I found not having a manual for the unit to be a disadvantage.
This is not a user friendly printer with all the code and app requirements. Using the web address on my laptop and phone, just gave me a link to the play store to download the app again, which I did not want.
The size of the display screen is small. At times I had to touch the menu button more than one time to get it to continue to the next screen.
The unit functioned well printing and scanning. I was able to print from the computer via wireless connection without using the app. The copy function does not require the app or show a code to scan to be able to continue.
The document feeder allows for quick copying and scanning, which is an advantage. The rollers did grab a one sheet copy job crooked and the copy was askew on the page which is a disadvantage. On best, the copy did not come out any better than normal. The copy images were a poor representation of the original. The copy images were more pix elated making them not as complete and crisp. In addition, the single color grey images were very pale and could barely be seen.
I did not sign up for HP instant ink, compatibility. I also disabled firmware updates.
