4" Alocasia melo

Alocasia melo is a striking jewel Alocasia known for its thick, deeply textured leaves that feel almost like suede to the touch. The foliage ranges from cool gray-green to bluish tones, with prominent raised veins that give it a sculpted, stone-like appearance. Compact and architectural, it adds an extraordinary, almost prehistoric charm to any tropical plant collection.

Your Alocasia arrives well-established in a 4" pot. Each plant is grown with care in our licensed Florida nursery to ensure it arrives healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your space. Provide bright, indirect light, steady warmth, and moderate humidity, and it will reward you with steady growth and beautifully structured foliage—a true collector’s favorite among the jewel Alocasias.

4 inch

☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light
💨 Humidity: Aroids thrive in higher humidity (60%+). Average household humidity can work for acclimated plants, but they’ll appreciate extra moisture from a humidifier or grouping with other plants.
💧 Watering: Most aroids do not want to stay constantly moist (Alocasias, in particular, are prone to root rot). Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain. Reduce frequency in cooler months.
🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (65–85°F). Protect from drafts and cold air.
🪴 Soil & Potting: Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix. Always pot with drainage.
⚠️ Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested by pets or children.
