Alocasia 'Jacklyn' (Alocasia Sulawesi, Tandurusa) - varietate rara cu frunzis exotic

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ is a remarkable variety of alocasia, native to Indonesia, highly sought after by collectors due to its unique, large, deeply lobed leaves with an almost fern-like appearance. The leaves are deep green, with dark veins, nearly black, and their texture is fine and slightly velvety. Its elegant bearing and unusual shape make this plant a true collector’s piece among aroids.

Alocasia Jacklyn is a natural mutation of Alocasia portei, endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it grows in the mountainous Amazon jungle. The trade name 'Jacklyn' comes from the person believed to have first discovered the plant. Among collectors, it is also called Alocasia Sp. Sulawesi because “Jacklyn” is not an official name.

Alocasia Jacklyn is also known as Alocasia sp. Sulawesi or Alocasia celebes Tandurusa.
