Alocasia Jacklyn is a recently discovered species of elephant ear from Indonesia. The leaves on this plant are arrow shaped with deeply defined undulating margins. The veins are dark green and prominent.
Alocasia Jacklyn makes a great indoor tropical plant! In its natural habitat, it can grow up to 5' tall. As an indoor plant, you'll find that it stays a bit more compact only reaching about 3-4' in height.
Caring for your Alocasia Jacklyn is simple. Make sure your new plant is in a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the plant to dry out almost completely between watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide it with medium to bright indirect light for a happy, healthy plant.
