Alocasia Gageana | 21cm pot

The Alocasia gageana, also known as the California Elephant Ear or Chinese Taro, is a stunning tropical houseplant prized for its large, glossy, heart-shaped green leaves and impressive upright growth. This fast-growing indoor plant brings a bold jungle feel to homes, offices, and contemporary interiors, making it a striking statement piece for any tropical plant collection. Its lush foliage and architectural form make it a favourite among both beginner and experienced houseplant enthusiasts. Light: Alocasia gageana thrives in bright, indirect light. Plenty of filtered light encourages larger leaves and vigorous growth, while avoiding direct sunlight helps prevent leaf scorch. A warm position with good humidity will keep the foliage looking its best. Water: Keep the soil consistently lightly moist, allowing only the top few centimetres to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away freely. This tropical houseplant dislikes sitting in water but also does not tolerate prolonged dry periods. Higher humidity will encourage healthy growth and reduce the risk of brown leaf edges. Toxic Pot size: 21cm | Height: Approx 95cm
