This Alocasia stands out for its very large green leaves (hence the common name “elephant ear”), impressive and elongated, with pointed tips. A plant associated with “good luck”, ideal as a decorative piece—an excellent reference for “plant styling”—adding a tropical, natural touch to any indoor space. A sophisticated-looking plant, a true must-have in the “urban jungle” trend!

CUIDADOS
Light: Prefers bright indirect light or partial shade. Strong direct light can scorch the leaves.
Temperature: Ideal between 18 °C and 22 °C. Temperatures below 15 °C can cause damage.
Watering: Keep the substrate consistently slightly moist. In winter, reduce slightly but don’t let the soil dry out completely, especially in the bottom third.
Humidity: Prefers high levels (60–80%). Benefits from regular misting or a humidifier, especially in drier environments.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and summer.
Pruning: Removing yellow or scorched leaves helps keep the plant looking good and healthy. It’s also helpful to wipe dust off the leaves to support photosynthesis.
Soil: Light, fertile, well-draining substrate. Ideally, a mix of potting soil with perlite or coconut fibre, ensuring good drainage.
Not Pet Friendly: All parts of the plant are toxic.
Tip: To maintain humidity levels, maximise photosynthesis, spot pests early, and keep your plant looking great, wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth.
