Alocasias are considered some of the most striking houseplants in our webshop. The Alocasia is a houseplant that you will not easily overlook. This is because of their spectacular foliage and visual appeal, but also literally because the leaves can grow to a meter in length! We are happy to inform you that she is not the most difficult plant to take care of as well.
It can be hard to pick a favorite when there are over 80 species to choose from. Therefore we are going to help you with highlighting just a few of the many different varieties.
The Alocasia Polly is known for her large, dark-green leaves shaped like an arrow or a shield. These leaves have wavy, undulating edges and have thick white veins running throughout the leaves.
The Alocasia Frydek is a large-sized plant with beautiful velvety, deep-green leaves and bright white prominent veins on the foliage. The Alocasia Zebrina is missing the distinctive white veins running through the leaves, but instead the stems are adorned with a super cool yellow and black zebra (some even say tiger) print-esque markings. This gives the plant a distinctive, eye-catching appearance.
The Alocasia with maybe the most characteristic textured is the ‘Silver Dragon’. It has lighter, almost pale silvery-blueish, leaves but with a dark prominent venation. This Alocasia stays, even with fully grown leaves, a bit smaller. Pretty cute, isn’t she?
