Alocasia (Alocasia princeps)

Product description

This Alocasia species is found in the rainforests of Borneo. Usually on slopes from sea level to 1200 metres altitude, where several stems can develop from a rhizome. The plant can grow to a height of 2 metres, with leaves reaching a size of about 60 cm. They are arrow-shaped and glossy. Leaf colour can vary, but the mother plant of these seeds has a fairly light colour with dark veins. See the photo for this. The inflorescence consists of a pinkish-white spathe and a cream-coloured spadix. The flowers are followed by orange-red berries containing 1 seed. 

Provide a bright spot without direct sunlight and spray the leaves regularly with water at a humidity below 60%. The plant likes a well-drained soil with organic matter that can be kept constantly slightly moist. 

Sowing description: The already germinated seed can be planted directly in a well-drained soil with organic matter. For initial development, 25-30grC is optimal.
