Alocasia Bambino is a dwarf elephant ear species with elongated leaves from Southeast Asia. While your Alocasia 'Bambino' will never grow as large as other elephant ears, this particular species has spectacular glossy foliage that demands attention.
Alocasia 'Bambino' is similar to Alocasia 'Polly' but it has smaller leaves.
We recommend allowing your Alocasia Bambino to dry out slightly between watering. They prefer bright indirect light to ensure a healthy growing plant!
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.
Beautiful!!! Delivered perfectly, no damage. Thank you
The plants didn't make it through the shipment. I have to cut the dead leaves and put them in water, hopefully, they can survive.
After receiving a plant that was broken during shipment, I received a replacement from you. It arrived packaged perfectly and is such a lovely plant. Thank you, once again, Plant Canopy!
We're so happy to hear your replacement plant arrived safe and sound—and that you love it! Thank you for giving us the chance to make it right. We truly appreciate your kind words and support! 😊
This is a very beautiful Alocasia
I’m a beginner plant mom. I love my bambino! It’s been a few weeks and she’s still surviving!
That's wonderful to hear! Welcome to the plant parent club—sounds like you and your bambino are off to a great start!
