With its glossy, dramatic shaped leaves, this big pointy fellow is an absolute must-have. The striking silvery-green veins running through each dark almost black and scalloped leaves really give it the wow factor.
Please note that as this is a natural plant, the variety of alocasia may vary from the photo.

Plant Care
Protect your Alocasia from full sun – it prefers indirect light and a moderate shade. These plants will definitely appreciate being placed in a kitchen or a bathroom, as they like humidity. They are a tropical plant, so make sure the temperature is not too cold. Soil should stay moist but not wet or soaked. This guy will be happy for you to regularly mist him.
Note: These plants are not cat or dog friendly, so make sure it’s placed somewhere they won’t try and nibble them.
Read our plant care guide, to help keep your Alocasia looking fresh.

Recently received this plant as a gift and I can’t be more grateful. The colour and shape of these leaves are stunning, something funky to add to my living room decor
