✨ Why You'll Love the Alocasia ‘Cucullata Variegata’
Bold variegation: cream‑white streaks on deep green, bringing visual light to any corner.
Compact P9 pot, approx. 30 cm tall—ideal for desks, shelves, or tabletops.
Efficient air cleaner—known to help freshen indoor environments.
Perfect size for balconies and smaller indoor jungles common in European homes.
🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright indoor light; avoid harsh midday sun—perfect near east or west‑facing windows.
Sensitive to drafts—avoid cold winter air in German flats.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep soil light but moist; allow top 2 cm to dry out between waterings.
Thrives in 50‑60 % humidity—ideal in kitchens or bathrooms. A pebble tray helps in dry central heats.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Aerated, well‑draining mix (peat, orchid bark, perlite) is best.
Repot yearly in spring when roots reach pot edges—upgrade to P12 or P14 for larger specimens.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals—can irritate pets if ingested.
Keep plant out of reach of cats, dogs, and curious toddlers.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Grows via underground rhizomes—new shoots emerge nearby.
Divide during repotting for easy propagation and sharing.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Growth slows in winter—reduce watering frequency.
Wipe variegated leaves gently to remove dust and promote light absorption.
🐛 Common Issues
Brown leaf tips? Likely from dry air or tap water salts—use filtered or rainwater.
Yellowing or droopy leaves? Check soil moisture and drainage.
🧬 Botanical Background
Hybrid between Alocasia odora and perhaps A. macrorrhiza—selected for its cup‑like, variegated foliage.
Nickname: “Hooded Elephant Ear”—native to Southeast Asia.

Exotic plants
These came in perfect shape and are so easy. We put them on rocks and soak them in water once a week. Two weeks now and they still look so fresh. That never happens with our plants.
