Alocasia Chantrieri Medium
Majestic Foliage Powerhouse: Alocasia ‘Chantrieri’ Medium
Alocasia Chantrieri Medium | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Potentially toxic to pets
Summary: With glossy, metallic-green umbrella leaves reaching ~28 cm tall in a P12 pot, this Alocasia brings bold jungle drama to European living spaces while thriving in moderate light.
✨ Why You’ll Love the Alocasia Chantrieri
- Striking umbrella-shaped foliage: deep green with a hint of silver shimmer, ideal for statement corners in German apartments.
- Perfect mid-sized drama: at ~28 cm tall in a 12 cm pot, it’s a sculptural indoor accent without overwhelming space.
- Air-purifying & decorative: adds natural contrast while gently cleansing indoor air.
- Reliable performer: medium-growing, easy to maintain under European indoor conditions.
🌞 Light & Placement
- Thrives in bright, indirect light—ideally from east, north, or shaded south-facing windows.
- Avoid direct midday sun to preserve leaf integrity and prevent scorching.
💧 Water & Humidity
- Keep the soil lightly moist—water when the top 2 cm dries, but don’t let it sit in water.
- Prefers 60–80 % humidity—excellent for bathrooms or kitchens; mist leaves regularly or use a pebble tray.
🪴 Soil & Potting
- Choose a rich, well-draining mix with peat-free compost, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and allow room for root expansion.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
- Contains calcium oxalates—can cause irritation if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious pets and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
- Moderate growth habit with several new leaves per growing season.
- Propagate via rhizome division during repotting—shared pups often develop at the base.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
- Spring/summer: peak growth—main watering and feeding months.
- Autumn/winter: growth slows—reduce watering and hold off fertilising.
- Clean leaves during dry months to maintain their chain-like shine.
🐛 Common Issues
- Yellowing leaves = overwatering or poor drainage—adjust watering and ensure airflow.
- Crispy edges = too much sun or low humidity—relocate and increase moisture.
- Drooping leaves = underwatering—check soil moisture and lightly mist foliage.
🧬 Botanical Background
- Alocasia ‘Chantrieri’ is a hybrid of Alocasia portei and Alocasia odora, prized for its bold, umbrella-like leaves and dramatic stature.
- Native to Southeast Asia, it adapts beautifully to indoor European environments with consistent misting and warmth.

Super good packaging and the plant looked great! after just a few days after arrival a new leaf appeared, so I am super happy and can´t wait to have the little babies grow!
The Alocasia itself is beautiful and healthy, with a lovely new leaf already developing. However, the packaging method used for shipping was very disappointing. The pots were stacked together in a way that put strong pressure on the stems during transport for several days, which caused permanent bending on some petioles and damage to one leaf.
At first, my concerns were underestimated, but after additional photos and explanations, Plant Circle handled the situation professionally and offered a fair partial refund, which I appreciated.
So overall, the plant is beautiful, but the packaging method for large Alocasias clearly needs improvement.
The leaves were wrinkled from shipping.
The plant arrived with a torn leaf due to shipping.
Dropped 2 small leaves while in transit, but plant looks healthy
