Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Low Rider' is a compact plant with wavy-edged leaves that look similar to Alocasia 'Portora' only with a dwarf growth habit. It's an upright grower usually reaching 1-2' tall so it makes an ideal plant as the focal point in a compact mixed container. It's also attractive as a stand-alone potted plant that tolerates a variety of light conditions and adds a tropical feel wherever it's grown.
