Alocasia Green Unicorn care:

Additional information:
Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia.
There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side.
Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self reproduce from corms.
Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period.
Customer Reviews
I think I've met two alocasias that don't like me. Typically, my alocasias do really well. But alocasia Jacklyn and alocasia green unicorn are going to test me.
I let her acclimate for a few days, repotted her, and then it just kept going downhill. I've got her in hydro now, seeing if that's a preference for her - and with just one leaf left. I love getting to know the plants and what they prefer. This is one that I just might need a little more time on! She was a little sad upon arrival - maybe it's just one that doesn't travel well. I'm in central Texas, just for reference. I'll keep you posted!
Love the shine ! Purple undertone makes this very special
This is my first Alocasia plant and I’m in love. My order arrived on time and was well packaged. Can’t wait to buy more plants.
