Alocasias, dramatic leaves, dramatic moods.

Elephant ears and jewel alocasias - zebrina stems, dragon-scale texture, black-velvet leaves and silver dragons. Stunning, fast, and famously moody: they sulk, drop leaves and go dormant. Sorted by difficulty, with honest notes on humidity, spider mites and the dormancy that scares new growers. There are 16 in the catalog.

Alocasias
⚠️ Keep away from pets. Toxic to cats and dogs, and to humans if chewed (insoluble calcium oxalate crystals). Biting the tissue releases needle-like crystals causing intense oral irritation, drooling, pawing at the mouth and vomiting - keep out of reach of pets and children, and wear gloves or wash hands after handling.
