Summary: This rare Alocasia features narrow, lance-shaped dark green leaves with a metallic sheen, bringing unique texture and elegant verticality to any plant collection.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but grows best near east- or north-facing windows without direct sun exposure.
Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Loves high humidity (60-80%) – mist regularly or use a humidifier for optimal leaf health.
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with coco coir, perlite, and bark. Repot every 1-2 years to refresh nutrients and allow root expansion.
Toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
Produces offsets (‘pups’) around the base which can be divided carefully during repotting to propagate new plants.
Reduce watering slightly during winter dormancy. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain their metallic sheen.
Susceptible to spider mites in dry environments and root rot if overwatered. Monitor for yellowing leaves as a sign of excess moisture.
Native to the Philippines, Alocasia scalprum is admired for its unique sword-shaped foliage and compact size, making it a rare gem for indoor collectors worldwide.

Perfekt 👌
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.
