Mythic Ninja Elephant Ear

Mythic® Ninja is a branded Alocasia reginula for warm indoor collections, where its patterned foliage can be appreciated at close range. Give it steady warmth, humid air, and bright filtered light; keep its potting mix moist while allowing excess water to drain. ## Identity and placement The [Proven Winners leafjoy catalog](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/catalogs_pdfs/pw_leafjoy_s-f_2024_catalog_final.pdf) lists Mythic® Ninja as Alocasia reginula. Alocasias make useful indoor foliage specimens; place this tropical plant in a bright room away from harsh direct sun and cold drafts, following the [RHS Alocasia growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/alocasia/growing-guide). Keep it above 16°C (60°F), and use a sheltered position with partial shade if grown outdoors seasonally. Allow room around the plant for its foliage to develop without crowding nearby leaves. ## Growing conditions Use an airy, moisture-retentive but free-draining potting mix. Keep the root zone evenly moist during active growth, then reduce watering if growth slows in winter. High humidity supports healthy foliage, but do not leave the pot standing in water. ## Maintenance Remove spent or damaged leaves with clean tools as needed. Alocasia sap can irritate skin, and ingestion can be harmful to people and pets; wear gloves when pruning and place the plant out of reach.
