Alocasia melo is a truly unique type of elephant ear that has extremely corrugated green and silver leaves. Their leaf texture is out of this world!
This particular Alocasia is a dwarf, or jewel variety, meaning it will only reach a maximum height of about 2'. This makes it perfect as an indoor plant.
Alocasia melo prefer to stay on the dryer side, so make sure to allow your plant to completely dry out between watering.
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.
Sizing information:
Plants are living organisms, so each one is unique and may vary slightly in size, fullness, color, and maturity depending on the season, growing conditions, and current availability. We do our best to match the product photos and descriptions as closely as possible while ensuring you receive a healthy, high-quality plant.
I get my plants shipped all the way to Denver, CO. They always arrive in great condition!
Absolutely gorgeous! I just love it!!
Arrived with two plants in the pot and six leaves. Was super happy with the state of the plant even after shipping through the country and arriving into Arizona summer. There were some concerning orange spots on most of the leaves, but an email confirmed it may be a fungicide the grower uses. Some diluted alcohol took most of the spots off and I’m happy with it. Transferred it to semi Hydro just a few days ago actually and it seems super happy. Can’t wait to grow this one more.
Ordered three alocasias this go around an Alocasia Melo, a ninja, and a silver dragon. I love love love how the Melo looks. When opening the package it was nicely wrapped. Roots are strong and clean. Shipped quickly. The leaves are beautiful! It's my fav so far. I didn't notice any pests. Can't wait to add it to my collection.
I love the Melo! The texture of the leaves *chef kiss*
This is such a cool plant!! The leaves are so cool feeling! Ofc I would recommend this shop to anybody! I've ordered quite a few plants now and have not been disappointed yet!!
This Alocasia is so unique and I just had to add it to my collection!!! So pleased with my experience with my total order!
This was my very first online plant purchase/shipping experience and I could not have been happier! I received several beautiful alocasia's, but this melo was particularly stunning. Everything was packaged incredibly well and the plants are all doing great several weeks later!
The packaging and Melo were better than I could've ever imagined! I made another order because i was so happy with the quality of the plants!
I’m so happy to add this cutie to my collection!!!! I will add her to my maharani. I will say this for each plant because I’m amazed. I got this plant in January and she looks beautiful.
Most alcoasias can be a little dramatic but my melo is the coolest, cutest little compact dude. He's very easy to care for. I'm excited to watch him grow. :)
I love it
Loved my plant so much it came fast and is growing a new leaf already
I LOVE IT! The texture of the leave are stunning! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! This is the reason why Alocasia are my favorite plants hands down.
Just getting into alocasias and anthuriums because I like to cause myself stress, but Canopy always comes in clutch with the perfect plants! I know without a doubt that if they die, it’s my fault, not theirs 😂
Haha, we totally get it—nothing like a little plant-induced stress to keep life exciting! 😅 Thanks for trusting us with your leafy adventures—we’ve got your back (and your plants)! 💪
I've bought several plants from this company. Always a fun expirence. Plants come well packaged, descent arrival and beautiful when unwrapped.
The texture on these plants is crazy, I love it! Packaged with care, as always. Already pushed out 2 new leaves, without dropping the existing :)
