Summary: Known as the 'Buddha's Hand' Alocasia, this graceful beauty boasts lush, heart-shaped leaves that bring a serene, temple-like aura to German apartments and European homes.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates some light shade. Avoid direct sun, which can burn its delicate leaves. Ideal for east or north-facing windows with filtered light.
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2-3 cm feels dry. Loves high humidity – mist regularly or place near a humidifier to keep leaves healthy and vibrant.
Use a rich, well-draining soil with added perlite or orchid bark. Repot every 1-2 years in spring to refresh soil and support its steady growth.
Toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Keep out of reach of curious cats, dogs, or children.
Moderate growth rate. Can produce offsets (‘pups’) at the base, which can be separated during repotting in spring or summer to grow new plants.
Reduce watering in winter as growth slows. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and radiant. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Watch for spider mites and aphids, especially in dry air. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or cold exposure.
Native to Southeast Asia, Alocasia cucullata is revered in temples and gardens for its protective energy and ornamental charm, often called ‘Buddha’s Hand’ due to its cupped leaf shape resembling protective palms.

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.
