Alocasia scalprum | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU
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.

My experience at plant circle: I ordered 5 plants, alocasia to Slovenia, but Loco was sold out, they informed me about this and gave me the choice of another plant or a refund, my decision is to get another Frydek plant. The shipment of plants arrived carefully packaged without damage. But the alocasia was not in the package, at first I was disappointed, but the next day I was surprised, DPD delivered and made up for my Frydek plant. I received a notification from plant circle that they forgot to send it in the first shipment and sent it back without any additional costs. plant circle is one of the best indoor plant stores, you deserve a rating of 10 not just 5. Thank you.
Diese Alocasia gefällt mir bis jetzt am besten. Sie hatte kaum Versandstress und sieht sehr schön aus.
Alles perfekt
