The photo above is that of a Koi (Japanese carp). This one is a Goromo - one of the many different varieties of Koi . One of my first and certainly not my last.

Plants for Koi Pond – Alocasia X Amazonica

Plants for Koi Pond – Alocasia X Amazonica

As a marginal plant, the Alocasia X Amazonica can be grown in half-submerged pots at the sides of your pond or in a shallow part of your pond. I like the large, attractive and waxy looking leaves with clear, lighter colour veins and interesting leave shape. The leaves are not as large as the Elephant Ears (Alocasia Macrorrhiza) can be grown together or placed side by side with other marginal plants as shown in picture above.

Plants from the Alocasia family makes good specimen plants to make the pond more interesting. I also have another specimen of Alocasia  growing in my lily pond.

It looks like the Alocasia Macrorrhiza but the leaves has dark reddish veins.
