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.

Aunt Jane, Georgian Spinster Queen of English Prose
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I'm reading Emma again for the third time. It happened like this: I thought I'd try an audio book on CD for the first time, something to listen to in the car besides music. Scanning the shelves at the local bookstore, I saw loads of contemporary best sellers, self and financial help, new age and evangelical Christian spirituality, and Jane Austen's Emma in MP3 format, all on one disc. Austen! Water in the desert! I scooped her up. For the last week I've been listening to her in my car. At the beginning it was without much concentration. Over the next few days my attention gradually increased. Now I'm hooked. Down the throat. Through the gut. Again. It happens to me every time I return to Jane. I just can't get enough. The last two nights I've gone to bed reading ahead of where I've listened. Even though the story is coming back to me, I'm still taken by it, hook line & sinker. Jane's reeling me in, and the line is utterly slack. Now, I am a guy. I break out in hives if I happen to accidentally brush a romance novel. As far as I am concerned, bodice rippers where the tall olive skinned duke inevitably has his forceful yet gentle way with the heroine are good only as ammunition with which to tease the women in my life who enjoy such tripe. Having said this, I realize a lot of people also refer to Jane Austen as "Chick Lit," equating her with the likes of Nicolas Sparks. For the record, those people are on crack. Austen is much more a comedic writer than a writer of what we call romances. She is simply a hoot. Subtle disjunctures and ironies build to exquisite crescendos. She has me laughing every other page. Her characters, even her unpleasant and ridiculous ones, tend to breed sympathy. Like most of my favorite books, she creates worlds, or a world, really (all of her books are set in the same historic and geographic milieu,) which comforts and gladdens. The feeling I get from her is much like the feeling I get when I read Tolkien describe the Shire or Last Homely House, or something like the children's book Frog & Toad to my niece. It's an eating poached egg on toast snuggled up inside under a quilt on the couch with a cup of tea on a rainy day kind of feeling. (Don't you just love English prepositions and phrasal verbs? Try doing that in French! Austen and phrasal verbs: two of the many reasons English speakers ought to rejoice in their language, I say!) Anyway, during all of her stories, including Emma, Europe was being blown apart by the Napoleonic Wars, and the only oblique references in any of her stories to that maelstrom is that Great Britain has a mobilized Army (Pride & Prejudice) and an active Navy (Persuasion.) The reason the military is important has nothing to do with Austerlitz, Waterloo, Trafalgar or any of that nonsense. Rather, it is that both services have officers which make very suitable suitors for women of her heroines' social positions (Lt. Wickham & Capt. Wentworth, for example.) Some brand this awful: elitist, sexist, parochial. I, for one, find it beautiful. Small, intimate, ordered, secure, anchored. Very human and sane, that is. What matters most is not what some silly diminutive one armed Corsican with maniacal delusions of world conquest is doing; no. What really matters is whether and how Mr. Woodhouse takes his gruel, or if Mr. Elton will propose to Harriet. Or if Mr. Knightly and Mrs. Weston have come to visit yet, today. Will Mr. Frank Churchill come, and what is he like? Has Emma truly foiled Mr. Martin's advances on her friend, he being an entirely unsuitable yeoman farmer? Harriet must marry a gentleman, you see. Just so. Indeed, these are truly the things that mattered- and still matter- most. Don't let the history books and the reverse snobbery of some critics fool you. Instead go read this book, and every other that Jane wrote, and prepare to be enchanted.

Jane Austen: A Classic
Jane Austen's novel Emma has been well known since it's publishment. In the 90's, a successful chick-flick movie, Clueless was based on this novel. Even though the movie does not in any way depict the intelligence of Jane Austen, it serves the main characters' personalities. The book by far was absolutely and brilliantly written while easy to understand in fairly relatable modern English. This book is a great read for literature analysts because it serves a wide variety of character traits within their society. It can also be used to analyze the socio-economic stereotypes and lifestyles of their time. The plot and storyline were at a consistent pace with a surprising climax and turn towards the end. Because it is a love story, it does follow the usual typical love story scenes. However, love is depicted differently by each couple and character, which sets it apart from other cinderella-like stories, which were popular during that time period. It is a very relaxing book -- not an intense read. It is also a classic even though not as widespread or as known as other Austen's novels such as Pride and Prejudice. It is definitely a recommanded read.

Very good read. Depend upon it!
Format: Kindle
After reading Pride and Prejudice, I figured that I ought to read Austin's "Emma", too. It was a very good read and quite long. However one thing that kept sticking out to me was Emma's use of "Depend upon it!!". Unfortunately I must confess that as an anime fan, all I kept hearing in my head was Uzumaki Naruto's "Believe it!"—The English translation of his Japanese quirk, "~datte ba yo!"—and I would have a good chuckle. Now I picture Emma wearing a ninja headband and and I'm noxiously orange jumpsuit. Sorry. Now you can't unhear it either.

Good, but had to labor through this...
Emma was such a character who in my opinion, was a little bit too conceited - she had thought to know of the feelings of other people that made her feel very confident of her match-making skills; and yet, when these matches failed to be, she thought the failures were all her doing too! Just the same, as in any chick-lit novels, everything was well and as it should be towards the end. It took me almost three weeks to finish this book, and I questioned myself why. It just didn't have that pull on me that I sometimes found myself browsing the net rather than reading the book. It's always a struggle for me to read 18th century writings; I always have to go back and reread for a more thorough understanding of what's being said. This is my second book by Jane Austen, and I'm probably getting tired of all the ceremonious ways of her period. Still, I could not fault the writing, being from a long ago era and true to it; it also elicited `hate and like' feelings towards the characters which is a sure indication of good literature...But still, I labored through it...so three stars to be fair to Ms. Austen and to myself.

A timeless, elegant delight
Emma is one of those rare classics that still feels alive in your hands. Jane Austen’s wit shines through every page, giving us a heroine who is flawed, charming, and endlessly human. The world she builds is warm and vivid, full of gentle humor, sharp insight, and the kind of slow‑blooming romance that lingers long after you finish. It’s a beautiful reminder of why Austen remains brilliant centuries later.
