🪴 Tropical Indoor Trio: Alocasia Zebrina, Cucullata, and Lauterbachiana
You have selected a spectacular collection of three unique Alocasias for your Tropical Indoor Trio, guaranteed to bring high drama and an exotic, lush feel to your home. This set features the striking patterns of the Zebrina, the classic shape of the Cucullata, and the unique colouration of the Lauterbachiana.
Appearance and Evergreen Foliage
All three plants in this trio are evergreen and hail from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, focusing their beauty entirely on their impressive foliage.
Alocasia Zebrina: This visually arresting plant stands at approximately 75 cm (30 inches) tall in a 19 cm pot. It has large, heart-shaped leaves of a deep green colour and an elegant appearance. Its striking feature is the thick, sturdy stems which boast a unique zebra pattern of blackish-brown stripes, creating an interesting leaf design and sturdy structure.
Alocasia Cucullata (Hooded Elephant Ear): This specimen is approximately 60 cm (24 inches) tall in a 19 cm pot. It is defined by its bright, glossy green, heart-shaped leaves that grow upright, giving the plant a sculpted look.
Alocasia Lauterbachiana (Purple Sword): This plant stands at approximately 75 cm (30 inches) tall in a 19 cm pot. It features long, wavy, lance-shaped leaves that are deep green on top and a rich, dusty purple underneath, providing a unique two-toned appearance.
None of the plants flower significantly indoors, and none have spines or a notable fragrance.
Location and Care
All Alocasias thrive in a humid, consistently warm environment, reflecting their tropical origins.
Location: The plants thrive best in a bright spot with indirect sunlight or in partial shade indoors. You must avoid direct sunlight, as the intense light will certainly damage the large, thin leaves.
Watering: All three Alocasias require regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. You should allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Consistent moisture is key to their survival.
Shipping
We pack your products in a sturdy, specially designed box for houseplants. The plants and the soil are protected by a protective cover, and the houseplants are secured in the box. This ensures that your trio arrives not only fresh and healthy but also undamaged.
Note: All three plants in this Tropical Indoor Trio (Alocasia Zebrina, A. Cucullata, and A. Lauterbachiana) are considered toxic if ingested. They contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation and digestive distress if consumed by humans or pets. Please ensure they are placed out of reach of curious children and animals.
