We can't seem to get enough of Alocasia Ninja, as their foliage is so mesmerizing!
This would be a great addition to any Alocasia or elephant ear collection, as these are fairly uncommon.
Alocasia prefer a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out slightly between watering.
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.
