I would venture to say all colocasias can grow in full sun. Caladiums and fancy leaf Alocasias are the ones that don't usually like it in full sun and usually get burnt leaves due to it. But of course this is full sun in KY not Florida or Arizona.

The largest leaves I usually get on colocasias are the ones grown in part sun that stay moist and humid. The larger alocasias do seem to take more sun easier.
