    Alocasia Bambino is something new. I am not sure if this is a hybrid or a mutation. It tends to be very small only growing 1 foot tall with bright white veins and narrow long leaves. Grown as a house plant it is still very rarely seen on the market. Grow in a warm area with filtered light keep dry between watering. Foliage: Dark green foliage white veins purple Flowers: hooded Height: 1 foot tall
