5" Alocasia scalprum

Alocasia scalprum is a rare species native to the Philippines, admired for its narrow, blade-like leaves and subtle metallic sheen. The deep green foliage has a smooth, refined texture with gently raised veins that catch the light, giving the plant an elegant, sculptural presence. Its compact size and distinctive leaf shape make it a standout choice for collectors who appreciate refined, understated beauty in tropical plants.

Your Alocasia arrives well-established in a 5" 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 strong, upright growth and sleek, glossy foliage—a striking yet minimalist addition to any rare plant collection.

5 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.
