Collection: Alocasia

Alocasia, commonly known as elephant ear or African mask plant, is a genus of tropical plants native to Asia and eastern Australia. Known for their striking, ornamental foliage, Alocasia plants feature large, arrow-shaped leaves with prominent veins and glossy textures, often in shades of deep green, purple, or silver. These plants thrive in warm, humid environments, making them a popular choice for both outdoor tropical gardens and indoor spaces where conditions can be controlled.

Alocasias prefer bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves. They require well-draining soil, consistent watering to maintain slight soil moisture, and high humidity to replicate their natural habitat. However, overwatering can lead to root rot, so balance is key. 

In addition to their aesthetic appeal, Alocasias add an exotic, lush ambiance to any space. They require some care and attention but are rewarding plants for enthusiasts who appreciate their dramatic beauty.
