Alocasia odora ‘Batik’
This variegated cultivar of Alocasia odora will develop large, heart-shaped leaves with striking green patterns interwoven with creamy-white accents, resembling intricate batik designs!
The young foliage is fragile and might experience some damage in transit, but with proper care will produce new foliage very quickly.
~Do Not let Alocasia sit in excess water. Alocasia are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.
~Do Not place in full sun. Though some larger varieties can be acclimated to full sun, our Alocasia have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.
~Alocasia are rhizomatous, meaning as they grow they will produce offshoots on short stems at or below the soil line. If you see bulb-like balls [known as corms] in the pot, Do Not remove them as these will grow to become new Alocasia!
