Alocasia Longiloba 'Purple' | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU
Summary: This stunning small Alocasia Longiloba ‘Purple’ showcases velvety deep green leaves with striking purple undersides, adding dramatic flair to any indoor plant collection.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Perfect near east or north-facing windows in European homes.
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Loves high humidity – mist regularly or place near a humidifier to maintain leaf health.
Use a well-draining aroid mix with perlite and orchid bark. Repot every 1–2 years in spring as roots develop.
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and curious little hands.
Grows from underground rhizomes, producing new shoots. Can be propagated by carefully dividing rhizomes during repotting.
During winter, reduce watering slightly as growth slows. Prefers stable temperatures above 18°C; protect from drafts and cold windowsills.
Watch for spider mites and yellowing leaves due to overwatering or low humidity. Increase humidity and check soil moisture regularly.
Native to Southeast Asia, Alocasia Longiloba is prized for its sculptural foliage and is part of the diverse Araceae family, closely related to Alocasia ‘Polly’ and ‘Dragon Scale’.

Very fast shipping and good quality plants. I recommend100%
Very interesting white leaves. Came with some yellowish ones probably from travelling. I can understand that plants with rare colours on their leaves may be more complicated to remain as received.
