Alocasia Bambino variegated is a dwarf elephant ear species with elongated leaves that sports patches of variegation throughout the leaf. While your Alocasia 'Bambino' will never grow as large as other elephant ears, this particular species has spectacular glossy foliage that demands attention.
Alocasia 'Bambino' is similar to Alocasia 'Polly' but it has smaller leaves.
We recommend allowing your Alocasia Bambino variegated to dry out slightly between watering. They prefer bright indirect light to ensure a healthy growing plant!
