You will receive a similar plant to the one photographed and not necessarily the same. If you would like a photo of the exact plant we are sending, just drop us a line! Pots and plants are sold separately unless otherwise specified in the listing.
Graceful, glossy, and full of presence—Alocasia cucullata is the calmer cousin in the elephant ear family. With tidy stems, heart-shaped leaves, and easygoing care, it brings upright tropical charm without the drama.
Plant Care Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. It can handle a bit of morning sun but keep it out of harsh midday rays. Too little light = leggy growth.
Watering: Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out between waterings. Keep it lightly moist, not soggy. Use filtered or rainwater if possible to avoid browning tips.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Doesn’t like cold or sudden temperature drops—keep it above 15°C and away from draughts.
Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is perfect—chunky, well-draining, and moisture-balanced to keep those roots happy.
Hot tips: Easier than most alocasias and known in some cultures as a symbol of protection and good fortune. Can go semi-dormant in winter—just reduce watering and wait for spring to wake it back up.
Pet Friendly: No
