green, rippled leaves and bright silvery-white veins running through the center. The contrast gets more dramatic as the plant matures.

What you get: the exact plant pictured, in its current pot.

Care:

• Bright, indirect light. No direct sun, which burns the leaves.

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Don't let it sit in water or dry out completely.

• Loves humidity. A humidifier or a grouping with other plants helps.

• Keep it warm and away from cold drafts.

• Feed monthly with diluted fertilizer in spring and summer.

• If it drops leaves, don't panic. Alocasias grow from a rhizome and can push new growth.
