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 ordered two plants hoping to start with a fuller pot both plants had lots of leaves and baby corms sprouting when they got here. I’m so excited to work on getting them to grow larger
Very healthy plant
Arrived well packaged and in great shape with 3 leaves. Even had a new leaf growing and that has fully unfurled after 3 wks. This plant is vigorous! It looks like it even has a sprouted corm. Very excited to see it thriving.
I ordered this alocasia along with its variegated version and have been very pleased with both! Unfortunately, I lost the largest leaf because it had bent at the base of the leaf and stalk (I would imagine from packaging or shipping). Otherwise, it has converted from soil to pon quite well.
Great service and price
