Alocasia Purpley has striking green foliage with an iridescent purple sheen! The leaves on this elephant ear are shaped like arrows and have white veins. The emergent leaves are a beautiful purple!
If you're looking for a plant that can get some height to it, but won't take up too much space then look no further!
Alocasia Purpley is incredibly easy to care for. Alocasia prefer a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out between watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your plant with plenty of bright indirect light.
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.
