Low Rider Elephant Ear (Alocasia 'Low Rider')
Low Rider Elephant Ear is a compact tropical plant valued for its glossy foliage, sturdy upright form, and bold texture in a smaller footprint. As a dwarf selection related to larger upright elephant ears, it brings the same lush tropical look without overwhelming patios, containers, bright indoor spaces, or smaller garden beds. Its heart-shaped green leaves and thick stems create strong structure without relying on flowers for impact. With bright filtered light, rich well-drained soil, steady moisture, warmth, and humidity, Low Rider Elephant Ear is a versatile choice for indoor collections, seasonal containers, and protected warm-weather plantings.
Distinctive Features
Low Rider Elephant Ear produces glossy green, heart-shaped leaves with wavy margins held on thick, sturdy stems. The plant stays much shorter than many large Alocasia selections, usually forming a dense clump with a broad tropical look at a manageable size. Its foliage gives containers and interior plantings a bold, architectural quality while remaining easier to place than giant elephant ears. Mature plants may produce a pale green spathe with a creamy white spadix, but the flowers are not the main feature and the plant is grown primarily for its compact tropical foliage.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Grows best in bright indirect light, filtered sun, or partial shade, with some tolerance for gentle sun when moisture is consistent.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil or a chunky indoor aroid mix that holds light moisture while allowing good root aeration.
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, allowing the upper portion to dry slightly before watering again, and avoid soggy conditions.
- USDA Zones: Often grown as a houseplant or seasonal container plant, with outdoor hardiness generally around USDA Zones 8 to 11 when protected and well mulched in colder parts of the range.
- Mature Size: Typically reaches about 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide, making it much more compact than many upright elephant ear selections.
- Habit: Forms a compact, upright, clumping tropical plant with glossy leaves rising from the base on stout petioles.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a compact tropical focal point in patio containers, entry planters, bright indoor rooms, courtyards, poolside groupings, or protected garden beds where bold foliage can stand out.
- Container Planting: Grow in a decorative pot where its upright habit and manageable size can add lush texture without becoming too large.
- Patio Plant: Use outdoors during warm weather to bring tropical foliage to patios, decks, porches, and shaded seating areas.
- Houseplant: Grow indoors in bright filtered light where warmth, humidity, and careful watering can support healthy foliage.
- Mixed Tropical Display: Pair with caladiums, ferns, begonias, pothos, or other foliage plants for a layered container or seasonal garden design.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water when the upper soil begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully so the roots stay moist but never waterlogged.
- Humidity: Provide moderate to high humidity indoors to help reduce leaf edge browning and support clean foliage growth.
- Light Care: Place in bright filtered light and rotate container plants occasionally to encourage balanced growth.
- Fertilizing: Feed during the active growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support steady foliage production.
- Overwintering: Move container plants indoors before cold weather or protect outdoor plants from freezing conditions with mulch and winter protection where appropriate.
- Leaf Cleanup: Remove yellowing, damaged, or tired leaves as needed to keep the plant looking clean and encourage fresh growth.
Why Choose Low Rider Elephant Ear?
- Compact Size: Offers the bold tropical look of an elephant ear in a much smaller form for containers, patios, and indoor spaces.
- Glossy Foliage: Produces heart-shaped green leaves with wavy margins for rich texture and strong visual impact.
- Upright Structure: Adds clean architectural form without taking up the space required by larger Alocasia selections.
- Container Friendly: Performs well in decorative pots where it can be enjoyed outdoors in warm weather and protected indoors before cold temperatures arrive.
- Versatile Tropical Effect: Works well as a houseplant, patio feature, seasonal accent, poolside plant, or compact foliage focal point.
Low Rider Elephant Ear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want bold Alocasia foliage in a compact, easy-to-place form. Its glossy leaves, sturdy upright habit, manageable size, and tropical character make it a dependable option for containers, patios, bright indoor spaces, and protected warm-season plantings.

Ink is a problem
Printer is great. It prints very nicely.. had no problem setting up.. it all works fine. What I didn't like is the ink is kind of expensive and doesn't seem to last long. Once one color is out .. you can't use at all. Says "print in black" but it only allows that a few pages then it's done even tho there is black ink left. Epson customer service kind of sucks also.

Correction: Excellent value, quality and ease of use for color & grey scale; Wi-Fi firmware updates
Straightforward to install on my home WiFi network. The controls and screen are easy to navigate. Firmware updates can be done via WiFi—so much better than downloading an installer to a computer. Surprised that the maximum borderless print size is A3+. I don’t care, because I don’t mind a thin border on 13x19” paper, and intend to print 12x18” or smaller anyway for framing.
Good results on real-world test prints with default color and tonal settings in Apple Photos. Astonishingly, perfect color and tonal range in my full-spectrum, full-dynamic range test print of a storefront on 13x19” Matte paper. A garden scene had true hues—borderless on 4x6” glossy paper—but was a bit dark. You wouldn’t notice if you only saw the print. Full tonal range B&W image on glossy paper lost some highlight detail and mid-tone pop compared to what I got from a commercial print shop using Luster paper, but I’m not seeing a color cast reported by others, which is very good news.
I bought Epson again after a long hiatus because 1) I have a big stock of paper from pre-covid days, 2) ink cost is not a problem for my limited photo printing needs, and 3) the recent price drop offered a very low up-front cost. This one is smaller and very much quieter than its predecessor. It offers Air Print connectivity, but I prefer WiFi, even from mobile devices.
Pretty happy so far. Already useful and B&W may improve with experimentation.

Beautiful, High-Quality Prints — A Great Photo Printer
I was looking for a good quality photo printer that could handle larger sizes, and this Epson XP-15000 really delivers. I’ve been so impressed with the print quality — the 13×19 prints come out beautifully: colorful, bold, and clean.
Since it uses individual ink cartridges, it does go through ink pretty quickly, and buying all the separate cartridges isn’t cheap. But the results are worth it. The extra gray and red cartridges really make the colors stand out and give the prints a professional look.
I’ve printed a number of images so far, and every single one has come out flawless. I’ve only had it a short time, but I’m extremely happy with it. Honestly, I do wish I had spent a little more and gotten the ET-8550 with the ink tank system, since it’s more cost-effective in the long run — but for what I paid, this printer still does an amazing job.
If you’re looking for a printer for craft bags, chip bags, photo prints, stickers — this can handle it all beautifully. I’d definitely recommend it!

Easy to set up, print quality is excellent.
I've always been an HP guy but the ink has become so expensive that now I've got no choice but to look at other options. We needed a large format printer that could handle card stock and this printer after much research fitted the bill. We've done quite a few prints the the quality is exceptional.
Set up was easy. The printer comes with a CD and quick setup manual, however we needed to go the Epson website to download the actual software suite to be able to print for our needs. The default drivers from the Windows auto installer were not sufficient because we were printing to a custom size of cardstock. After installation of the Epson suite everything was easy and we were off and running very quickly.
WIFI connectivity from the printer was easy, the only thing that we had an issue with was the update from the PC however we updated right from the printer screen on the actual printer and it worked flawlessly. The printer has the regular 4 color cartridges as well as a red and a grey. The prints came out with great color accuracy and quality. After a few full page prints the black ink capacity was going down faster so we will purchase extra black ink first just to have it on hand. Also have to say that the printer is very very quiet and we didn't realize it was finished on most of the prints.
Highly recommended printer.

A great phone...but compared to what?
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Black
Tldr: Good phone for this price, noticeably better than older A13 and I wish more people would include context to their reviews. Glad I bought mine.
I'm leaving a long and detailed review because I got tired of reading through reviews that seemed contradictory, or said something was "bad" but without any context. If I made a poor choice buying a phone I'd likely be stuck with it for some years. I'm hoping this helps others like myself who are reading the reviews.
Ok, so the most important context is what phone I'm coming from over to the A17 5g. My old phone was Samsung A13 5g. My opinions of the new phone will be largely based on how they compare to the previous phone I used. So it's budget phone to budget phone, with the A17 having approximately 3-4ish years newer tech (or same tech but cheaper.) Both phones are being used on metro PCS (T mobile) network.
So I've now had the A17 for exactly one week. I primarily use my phone for android auto, text, checking email, web browser, occasional YouTube and maybe once per week on some games. I don't use it for heavy loads like massive file transfers or rendering video. It's fairly light use overall.
So far, the things I've been most pleased with are the screen and software/system layout. The screen has decent color and brightness and is MUCH better than the A13. Both screens claim to run at 90hz but the change from the old 270 PPI (I believe stands for pixel per inch or some equivalent) to 385 PPI feels massive. Much cleaner image from text to images. The change from LCD to AMOLED gives much better contrast with deeper colors. The software and system layout are a bit harder to describe in detail. It's more of a personal/ascetic preference. Things look and feel a lot cleaner. There are added optional features like side slide tabs to house shortcuts for certain apps. Another feature is top down swipe from the right for system shortcuts and from the left for notification, so they are smashed together.
Another improvement, though less so than the screen and software changes, is in the speed and responsiveness of the phone. This one also needs to be put in context a bit. I'm sure some would complain about it while coming from a more expensive and technologically superior phone. I have my own bias, as I'm coming from an inferior phone which had over 3 years of use (slowing it down over time.) I also use it for mostly light tasks. That being said, I am pleased that the phone is noticeably more responsive than my old one. Most of the lagging happens on start up (goes away after a few mins while the phone is connecting a bunch of apps and putting out/requesting info like date/time/location.) When I booted it for the first time, that was the worst lag I had. It will also slow down if you have several apps running at the same time. I feel like that's obvious, but some people genuinely don't know that if you hit the home button to leave an app, you need to bring up multi view and actually swipe the box away to close it fully. If you never close apps and never restart your phone on occasion it WILL slow way down. While using the phone for max 1 or 2 things at time it runs perfectly fine, and is better than the A13.
Battery life is good. I went from appx. 5000mAh to 5000mAh phones, so besides the slight degradation in the old phones battery life it should be the same. 5000mAh for my uses feels excellent overall. It can go for a full 2 days without charging. Charging speed itself seems improved, but that's never mattered too much for me so I can't comment much. Seems fine though, roughly 1.5h charge from mostly dead to full. That's using a 25w fast charger block and appropriate USB c cable. I didn't use the cable that came with the phone so I can't comment. It didn't come with a charger block, by design. Your mileage on charge speed will vary based on what you're using to charge the phone with. The phone can't charge at full speed if you're using a 5w charger from 15 years ago.
I don't have much to say about the camera. I rarely take photos and when I do it's usually quick snap shots of paper instructions or to share location. I believe (though I'm not sure) the A13 was also 50mp front camera but either the the other 2 lenses have been upgraded or they improved the camera software, because pictures do look a bit cleaner. It's not night and day or anything, but it looks better to my eye. Camera is also faster to adjust light and contrast when first focusing on a object, as compared to the old A13.
Build quality seems a little improved. They are both budget phones and how build quality "feels" is inherently subjective but to me it does seem a little better.
A quick note on activating this new phone...this may only be an issue I personally had, but in case this helps someone else I'd like to include it. I had a bit of trouble switching my physical SIM card out of my old phone and into the new. The metro app was telling me the phone wouldn't be compatible unless I changed phone plans (which is BS.) I had to call customer service and they opted to use the eSiM feature, rather than swapping the physical Sim. I noticed they also used the new phones 2nd SIM number to activate it, while i had tried using first. If you're having trouble perhaps check the phones info from the settings menu, and then try eSIM activation using the 2nd address. It worked fine for me after this.
Samsung has a quick transfer feature if your previous phone was a Samsung. It basically copies over everything from your old phone, including apps, pictures, contacts and even text message history ect. It took 3 or 4 attempts (it didn't want to connect and dropped the connection once at 30% complete.) Luckily if it disconnects part way through, it will pick up where it left off, without needing to restart. Once it finally had a stable connection it took me about 6 minutes, it will vary based on how much stuff you have to move over. You need to download an app to do the transfer, but it will prompt you and take you to it's link.
Summery: I find it pretty impressive how nice this phone feels both compared to its older model and for its price point in general. I found it frustrating that people would say this part or that was crap or great, but without giving any context to what they based that opinion off of. In my opinion, based on how cheap this phone is and compared to its older model (A13) this is an awesome phone so far, being one week in. Screen is a big improvement, system software and layout is better (IMO) and they seem to be making incremental improvements to things like the camera and overall build. For this price point I find it really impressive what you actually get. If you're coming from an older mid range phone I expect it will either be inferior or about the same. If you're coming from another phone in the 200 range it should be decent to good. For less than 200 and for what I use it for though, I'm very happy I bought this phone.
