Alocasia Loco was introduced in 2010 by DeRoose Plants in Apopka, FL. It was recently released back into the market and we're so glad it was!
This Alocasia is FUNKY! It has undulating leaf margins, deltoid shaped foliage and distinct silver veining. Said to be a mutation of Alocasia Polly, this is an incredibly unique plant. We like to consider this the budget version of Alocasia Venom.
Alocasia Loco care:
This Alocasia plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not overwater your plant as they can be sensitive to overwatering. Provide your new Alocasia Loco with plenty of bright indirect light for optimal growth.
Additional information:
Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia.
There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side.
Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self reproduce from corms.
Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period.
