Alocasia reversa

Alocasia reversa is a compact and distinctive species native to the highlands of Borneo, admired for its unique leaf patterning and subtle color contrast. The foliage features a silvery-green background with a darker green center that seems to reverse the typical Alocasia vein pattern—giving this species its name. Its small stature and bold markings make it a standout choice for collectors who love detailed, character-rich foliage.

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 striking, patterned leaves—a rare gem for any Alocasia collection.

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.
