Alocasia Flying Squid is a mutated form of elephant ear that resembles... well, you guessed it... a flying squid!
The foliage is very odd. This plant produces leafless protrusions that spiral and curl every-which-way.
Alocasia Flying Squid care:
This Alocasia prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering, taking care to not allow your plant to sit in excess water. Provide your Alocasia plant with plenty of bright indirect light.
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.
