Alocasia Yucatan Princess

Caution, vulnerable to leaf damage

Glossy thick leaves that are held up by red stems, this is the Alocasia Yucatan Princess. She originates from the tropical rainforest in Southeast asia. Due to her big pointed leaves, she is sometimes compared to the ears of an elephant. In the wild these leaves can become absolutely enormous! This benefits the animals that leave nearby, since they use her as a hiding place. Unfortunately, this does not mean that she is safe to have around our animals. She is poisonous to ingest, so always be careful with pets and (small) children.
