Alocasia amazonica Dwarf is an exotic foliage plant with elephant ear-like leaves and strong leaf-vein colour distinction. Alocasia foliage is elegant and striking, perfect for livening up indoor spaces and patio setting. Pop plants in a warm, well lit spot and watch them thrive. Suited to shady underplanting in tropical gardens. Repot during spring only if plants become rootbound, this is the ideal time to remove and repot any young shoots which have sprouted.
Soil: Alocasia plants thrive in free-draining soil. Check that pots have good drainage.
Conditions: Plant in a shaded location with plenty of filtered light or indirect sunlight. Likes moderate water and mist the leaves occasionally to keep pests at bay, but do not allow to sit in water. If planted outside, protect from frost.
Size: Height 0.30-0.40m x width 0.40-0.50m
