An Alocasia that looks like a Caladium! The Hilo Beauty variety has foliage reminiscent of a camouflage pattern. The pale to dark green arrangement on its large lobed leaves makes it irresistible. Like the Caladium, it can go dormant in winter due to lack of light. During this hibernation period, simply place it in a dark room and stop watering. In the spring, gradually resume watering. It will come back strong and become the center of attention once again. To promote its growth, it is recommended to provide it with high ambient humidity, watering, and regular fertilizer.
