Alocasia
Alocasia is an ornamental plant grown for the large heart- or arrow-shaped foliage that resembles elephant ears, hence the common name. Also known as African mask plant, alocasia is most commonly grown indoors as a houseplant, though it can also be grown outside during warmer months in beds, borders and containers. Alocasia varieties occur in many different leaf colors, sizes and shapes.
VENOM
The Alocasia Venom, a captivating mutation of the renowned Alocasia Amazonica, is a truly exceptional and rare plant. Its name, Alocasia Venom, is believed to be derived from the super villain Venom from the Spider-Man comic series, perhaps referencing its striking appearance. This botanical wonder stands out with its bold, glossy leaves and uniquely unconventional shape, making it a coveted collector's item
WENTII
Unlike some of its more delicate relatives, the Alocasia wentii earns its "Hardy" moniker. It's notably more tolerant of cooler temperatures than many other Alocasia species, making it a surprisingly adaptable choice for both seasoned and aspiring plant enthusiasts. While primarily celebrated for its stunning foliage, it can produce flowers on a spadix surrounded by a pale spathe, though these blooms are infrequent. Beyond its beauty, this plant is believed to help improve indoor air quality by filtering airborne toxins, adding a practical benefit to its captivating presence.
NINJA
The Alocasia Ninja is a compact grower, typically reaching a modest height and spread of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm), making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces like desktops, shelves, or terrariums. Its upright growth and dramatic foliage bring a touch of exotic elegance to any indoor setting. As a mutation, Alocasia Ninja stands out with its almost black, velvety foliage and compact growth habit, making it a must-have for Alocasia collectors.
MICKEY MOUSE
Native to the lush rainforests of South America, this stunning plant thrives in warm, humid environments, bringing an exotic flair to your indoor jungle. In its natural habitat, it can reach impressive heights of up to 6 feet, but as a houseplant, its growth can be managed by its environment and pot size. The Alocasia 'Mickey Mouse' is more than just a pretty face; it’s an ideal centerpiece, adding a bold statement and a lively contrast to your existing plant collection.
Silver Dragon
The Alocasia Silver Dragon, or Alocasia baginda 'Silver Dragon', is a striking, compact houseplant known for its unique, textured foliage.

The leaves are heart-shaped, silvery-green with deep green veins, resembling dragon scales.
Dragon Scale
The Dragon Scale earns its name with its incredibly textured foliage, resembling the intricate scales of a mythical creature. Each thick, sturdy leaf is a canvas of captivating contrast, boasting deep green hues with shimmering silvery-green undersides and a network of raised, almost black veins that create a dramatic, artistic pattern. The striking difference between the dark veins and the lighter leaf surface gives it a distinct, almost metallic sheen. The undersides of the leaves unveil a surprising pop of color with pale cream and vibrant maroon veins, a delightful secret revealed upon closer inspection. New leaves emerge in a vibrant emerald green, gradually maturing into the signature silvery-green with ashy veins, creating an evolving display of color and texture.
