Alocasia 'Simpo' is a cross of Alocasia sinuata and Alocasia 'Lukiwan'!
This cultivar has striking arrow shaped leaves that stand upright, with a bullate texture. A very easy to care for plant, just like it's parents!
To properly care for your Alocasia 'Simpo', simply ensure that it is in a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow your Alocasia to dry out almost completely between watering. If the leaves on your plant begin to droop or cup inward, this is a sign that you should water your plant.
Alocasia 'Simpo' loves bright indirect light, so try to avoid north or east exposures and focus more on south and west for the best possible light for your plant.
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.
