📌 Note

This product is sold in the Babyplant stage, meaning that the plant is small and has a limited number of leaves compared with a mature specimen.

The shape, leaf size and intensity of the contrast between the veins and the leaf blade may naturally vary from one specimen to another.

Alocasia is sensitive to handling and transport, and its leaves may show small spots, bends, scratches, dry edges or other cosmetic imperfections, without normally affecting the plant's viability.
