Alocasia scalprum is a unique and rare elephant ear species. The foliage is narrow and develops exaggerated lobes. The leaf texture is similar to Alocasia heterophylla.
This stunning Alocasia is native to the Philippines and only recently entered cultivation in the US.
Alocasia scalprum care:
This Alocasia 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 over water your plant. Provide your elephant ear 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.

This plant arrived safely in very good condition. I chose to add the additional winter protection since I live in Pennsylvania and I was very happy with this decision. The plant was also very happy with this decision as well. The leaves on this plant are very impressive. Beautiful color, beautiful shine, beautiful texture and thick. Wonderful addition to my collection.
Received an enormous, healthy scalprum. Multiple corms, clearly healthy and growing steadily. Pest free. Already purchased multiple times from Canopy and will continue to.
So glad to hear your scalprum arrived big, healthy, and pest-free! We truly appreciate your continued support.
Beautiful healthy plant!
Just received this today. If already has five healthy well formed leaves. Can’t wait to repot it!
As usual, she arrived safe and sound and well packaged. She’s healthy with no yellow leaves.
Canopy Plant Co. Is my go to for all my planty needs.
I've had a hard time with this plant from Canopy. The first one I received was rotted at the base and was in really rough shape when I received it. Canopy replaced it with a much healthier plant that is putting out new growth. But it also arrived with curled leaves and I've lost a couple. I don't think this plant handles the transportation well, but I do like it and I appreciated that Canopy sent a replacement for the first plant.
I ordered a total of 4 alocasias from Canopy Plant Co. I was so happy with my order! They came well packed and very little damage in the process. They are all still thriving today! Can’t wait to order again.
This plant and all the others arrived in PERFECT condition. i will always recommend Canopy Plant Co. if you are interested in ordering online.
What a beautiful plant! Arrived in perfect condition. Love it!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear your plant arrived safe and sound — enjoy your new leafy friend! 😊

This specific plant had been at the top of my wishlist for quite some time before I was finally able to get it. I feel so lucky that I chose to purchase from this business, because it just stunned me with how beautifully unique and different this alocasia truly is! It arrived in flawless condition, pushing out two new leaves and has been thriving on my front porch, ever since. I couldn't be happier and so impressed at the quality, health, and overall experience of this order. Amazing! ♡
Gorgeous healthy Alocasia. I'm aware alocasia don't always ship well but this one arrived in perfect condition and has already popped out a new leaf!
Canopy never disappoints!! Wanted this Alocasia for a long time and she is gorgeous!
She is a beauty, leaves are so luscious, they were a little droopy when I received them. But otherwise a winner!
