• Leaves are large, arrow-shaped and upward-pointing.
• Similar foliage to Alocasia Zebrina but with more elongated and slender leaves.

Water: Little and often. Keep moist but not waterlogged.

Humidity disclaimer: This plant will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet. However, all tropical plants thrive with higher humidity levels. To achieve this we suggest grouping plants together, or putting them in a bathroom or kitchen which gets regular use.
