Alocasia Scalprum 4”

Alocasia scalprum

A distinctive collector’s aroid, Alocasia scalprum features narrow, elongated leaves with a firm, textured surface and rich green coloration. Its sculptural foliage brings a striking contrast to the broader leaves of other tropical houseplants.

Best suited to growers who can provide consistent warmth, humidity, and attentive watering, this uncommon Alocasia makes a compelling addition to a curated plant collection.

Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Protect from harsh direct sun.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the surface of the potting mix begins to dry. Allow excess water to drain, and avoid leaving the pot standing in water.
• Potting mix: Use an airy, well-draining aroid mix that retains some moisture without staying waterlogged.
• Humidity: Prefers elevated humidity with gentle airflow.
• Temperature: Keep warm and away from cold drafts, air-conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer at a diluted strength during active growth.
• Seasonal growth: Growth may slow and older leaves may drop during cooler or lower-light periods. Adjust watering to the plant’s actual moisture use.
• Safety: Not pet-safe. Keep away from pets and children who might chew the foliage.
