Xanthosoma atrovirens care:
Xanthosoma atrovirens prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out almost completely between watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water or remain too dry for an extended period. Provide your plant with bright indirect light for optimal growth.
Note: It is very common for this species to lose some leaves or arrive to its new home looking a little sad. These plants do bounce back with extra time and care. There are no credits or replacements on this species.
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.
Customer Reviews
A very neat plant! I don’t have anything like it in my collection and it stands out amongst them all!
I’ve wanted this plant for a while, but just now bit the bullet and ordered. Came perfectly packaged (all their plants always do) and was in great shape! Can’t wait to let it get acclimated and repot - plants and roots I can see look super healthy so I don’t anticipate any issues!

Arrived in prestige condition and I’m getting a new leaf already! Can’t wait to see how it grows. Beautiful colors! Second time customer and will be ordering again soon!
Arrived a little beat up. Lost 2 of the 3 leaves, but shipping an alocasia to WI in winter it is expected! Only 10 days later a new leaf is almost unfurled! Beautiful plants. Great shipping.
