Product description
The Alocasia macrorrhiza variegata, commonly known as the Variegated Elephant Ear, is a stunning and popular plant among collectors due to its large, variegated leaves.
1. Leaves: The leaves are large, glossy, and heart-shaped, featuring dramatic variegation in white, cream, and shades of green. Each leaf has unique variegation patterns, making no two plants identical.
2. Size: This plant can grow impressively large in the right conditions, with leaves reaching up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) long.
3. Stem: The stem is thick, sturdy, and often exhibits streaks or patterns, complementing the variegated foliage.
- The species is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and the Pacific. It thrives in humid and warm environments, often found in rainforests and shaded areas.
1. Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light may reduce variegation.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soil.
3. Humidity: The plant thrives in high humidity. Misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help, especially in dry indoor environments.
4. Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Please protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
5. Soil: Well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil is ideal. A mix of peat, perlite, and compost works well.
