Alocasia Tiny Dancer is a dwarf elephant ear species that grows at a fairly fast pace. The leaves are small but as the plant matures they do get a little larger. Unlike their larger Alocasia counterparts, Tiny Dancer only grows to about 3' tall which makes it a perfect indoor plant.
Alocasia Tiny Dancer care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Provide your 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.
