Product description
Alocasia azlanii, or Jewel Alocasia, is a small, sought-after houseplant known for its dark green, almost black, leaves with iridescent, metallic purple or pink veins, sometimes called the "Red Mambo". Native to Borneo, it thrives in high humidity, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil, requiring consistent warmth and moisture but not soggy roots, and is toxic to pets and people.
Appearance
Leaves: Dark green to black with a metallic sheen and prominent, contrasting veins in shades of purple, pink, or salmon.
Size: A compact plant, typically growing up to 12 inches tall.
Care requirements
Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate lower light but does best in moderate to bright conditions.
Watering: Water when the top of the soil is mostly dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Humidity: High humidity (80%+) is crucial for this plant.
Soil: A well-draining, airy mix is essential, such as a chunky mix with perlite, coco chips, and sphagnum moss.
Temperature: Keep in a warm environment, ideally between 60–85°F (15–30°C).
Fertilizer: Feed with an organic fertilizer at half strength during the growing season.
