Native to Southeast Asia, this compact hybrid Alocasia is beloved for its whimsical, curving stems that give the leaves a graceful, dancing appearance. Unlike many larger Alocasia, its petite size makes it perfect for smaller spaces, while still offering dramatic, sculptural foliage.
FLOWER DETAILS
The blooms resemble other Alocasia types: pale green to white spathes with a yellowish spadix. The flowers are subtle and not the main attraction, adding a delicate, understated accent to the plant’s bold stems.
