✨ Why You'll Love the Alocasia puncakborneensis

• Rare and highly sought-after Alocasia species with striking, deeply veined foliage.
• Sold as a young plug (approx. 15 cm) — watch it mature and thrive in your care.
• A must-have addition for rare plant lovers and collectors across Germany and the EU.
• Compact at first, but develops into an impressive specimen with time and care.

🌞 Light & Placement

Prefers bright, indirect light, similar to its native rainforest understory. Too much direct sun can scorch its delicate juvenile leaves. Perfect for a bright shelf or windowsill away from harsh midday rays.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil lightly moist at all times — never soggy. High humidity (60–80%) is essential for healthy growth, so consider a terrarium, greenhouse cabinet, or humidifier, especially during dry European winters.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a loose, well-aerated mix such as aroid soil with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Start in a small pot to encourage root growth and repot as the plant matures.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Warning: Like most Alocasias, this plant is toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or humans. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

As the plant matures, it will produce large, dramatic leaves with unique venation. Propagation is possible via rhizome division once the plant is established and producing multiple shoots.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Alocasias naturally go dormant in winter. Expect slower growth or temporary leaf loss when temperatures drop — reduce watering and resume regular care in spring as new leaves emerge.

🐛 Common Issues

• Drooping leaves: Often due to low humidity or underwatering.
• Spider mites: Common in dry indoor air — mist leaves or use a humidifier to prevent infestations.

🧬 Botanical Background
