Alocasia ‘Venom’ is a rare cultivated Alocasia known for its pale, silvery green foliage and elongated leaf tips that taper into a narrow, tail-like point. The leaves are shield shaped with gently undulating edges, raised veins, and a lightly textured surface. New leaves emerge darker green and gradually lighten as they mature, developing a consistent matte, silvery finish that does not darken with age.
This cultivar was discovered around 2019 by Mason Lee in South Korea. It is a mutation of Alocasia 'Amazonica'.
Alocasia 'Venom' care:
This Alocasia cultivar prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow your Alocasia plant to dry out almost all of the way before watering, taking care to not over water as they can be sensitive to overwatering. Provide your Alocasia 'Venom' 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.

I have been waiting to be able to get a decent sized one at a good price for 4 years and this one finally filled that void! Absolutely perfect. I am going to have to restrain from buying 10 of them lol

Such an unusual alocasia! The leaves are really unique! Very healthy and well packaged
Very much loved this plant not only was it putting out a new leaf it had a baby growing beside it. As always a great plant.
I was nervous purchasing this premium plant, but it arrived very healthy and hasn't shown signs of distress since I received it. It was packaged nicely and I was very happy with the plant I received.
