Alocasia odora 'Batik' grows large heart shaped leaves that are beautifully variegated, with splashes of cream and white variegation throughout the leaves.
Alocasia odora grows well outdoors or indoors. During the winter months, it's important to pull back on watering as Alocasia plants do tend to go dormant during this period. It is quite normal for an Alocasia to shed leaves during the winter, so don't worry -- when spring arrives you'll be rewarded for the wait with new foliage!
Alocasia odora 'Batik' care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your new Alocasia with plenty of medium to 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.
I wanted this plant ever since Leafydiva talked
About how great it was and then showed the ones at canopy. It sold out several times before I could finally one and I was NOT disappointed. Heavy variegation. Strong leaves. Full 4” pot. It lost 2 little little leaves a few days after it came but has already grown 2 big ones. It’s a hand painted gem & I love it!
this beautiful specimen was part of my first order from canopy. both plants were in perfect condition. I received within a week of ordering and I could not be happier.
definitely my go to nursery.
This is such a fun little plant. The variegation is incredibly beautiful and has the wow factor! The plant was carefully packaged and has already sprouted a baby. Looking forward to purchasing more beauties from Canopy!
I’ve ordered a few plants from here and every single thing has been amazing but this plant is STUNNING I’m obsessed
This plant is seriously the most amazing one I’ve seen yet!! It’s sooo gorgeous & has gotten TWO new leaves since I’ve gotten it, less than a month ago!!
