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

Alocasia 'Jacklyn' is a special variety of alocasia, originally from Indonesia, highly sought after by collectors due to its unique, large, deeply lobed, almost fern-like leaves. The leaves are deep green, with dark, almost black veins, and their texture is fine and slightly velvety. The elegant habit and unique shape make this plant a true collector's item among aroids.

Alocasia Jacklyn is a natural mutation of Alocasia portei, endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it grows in the montane Amazonian jungle. The trade name 'Jacklyn' derives from the person who is 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.
