The Alocasia 'Venom' is a fascinating tropical plant. This cultivar is distinguished by its dramatic and textured foliage. Its leaves, typically arrow-shaped, feature prominent veins and a strong contrast, with dark green to almost black tones, giving it an elegant yet mysterious look. Compact but visually striking, it immediately catches the eye and adds a sophisticated touch to any interior.
Alocasia prefers bright light and being pot-bound. To promote its growth, it is recommended to keep its soil slightly moist and fertilize regularly.
Warning! Risk of toxicity if ingested. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation on contact with skin or eyes.
