This Alocasia is a collector's item that stands out for its compact, thick, and textured foliage, with dark green, almost black leaves. Its unique variegation features mint green, cream, or pale white marbling and spots. Each leaf has a different pattern, making each specimen unique.
Alocasias prefer bright light and being snug in their pots. To promote growth, it is recommended to keep the potting mix slightly moist and provide regular fertilizer.
💡 Note
Alocasias may naturally lose an old leaf when they produce new growth. A single yellow leaf is therefore not necessarily a sign of a problem. 🌿
Caution! Toxic if ingested. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation upon contact with the skin or eyes.
