Alocasia scalprum features deep green, textured, lance-shaped leaves with intricate veining. Alocasia plants do best in warmer temperatures and high humidity. They are great for adding color and texture in landscapes and containers. Keep evenly moist and fertilize monthly during the growing season. Provide with lots of bright light but avoid direct sunlight, especially from the scorching afternoon sun in summer. Protect from freezing temperatures!
