4” Alocasia Jacklyn
Care

Loves humidity
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.
Alocasia Jacklyn care:
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.
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.
came in great condition, fast shipping and my beautiful new plant already has a new leaf coming in . have purchased from this company in the past and will continue to order.
Nice Jacklyn; lots of leaves
Came well packaged and quickly. No broken pieces, came with babies. She’s beautiful but throwing a hissy right now. Was expecting this behavior from an Alocasia. She’s slowly acclimating.
Arrived 3 days after it shipped and very well packaged. I've been wanting this one for so long and have to say... it did not disappoint! Is so beautiful and already has a new leaf coming.
She arrived in beautiful condition (along with the other plant I ordered with this same order, and she's doing fabulous!)
I say that bc within two days the leaves were yellowing and I was frantically trying to guess what was wrong.
Alas, I think she may be dead. But I'm trying to rehab the main parts and two corms she had.
This may just not be my plant. Which is a darn same bc I'm obsessed with alocasias and she's been on my wishlist for awhile.
There's always that one plant! She still has my heart!
