Alocasia longiloba is an uncommon and rare indoor plant that shines with its glossy blueish-green leaves and prominent silver veins. The leaf shape is extremely unique with its deep lobes and elongated foliage. This specific cultivar has exceptionally purple veined emergent leaves and is highly sought after.
Alocasia longiloba care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out about 3/4 of the way before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your new Alocasia with plenty of bright indirect light.
NOTE: The purple coloring sometimes comes in very faint but overtime the veins on the emergent leaves will display a nice purple hue.
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.

Quite leggy
Delivery was good, packaging was good. Plant looks healthy but stems are quite leggy. My last order was the same. I repotted it and put in my little greenhouse, seems to be doing fine.
