Alocasia melo 'Albo Variegata' - 6cm pot / 10cm+
Alocasia melo makes a leaf look carved rather than grown. Thick, deeply textured green foliage is the main event; 'Albo Variegata' adds pale breaks across that extraordinary surface. Even at this tiny stage, it is a plant you want to get down beside and properly inspect.
This 6cm-pot baby is a growing project, with a lot of its story still ahead. The pale markings will vary, so choose it for the combination of texture and living change rather than an expectation of identical leaves. Keep the roots comfortably warm and the mix airy. A small plant needs attention, but it does not need a daily flood.
One live plant in a 6cm nursery pot. Minimum height 10cm, including the pot. Listed heights are minimums; your plant will usually be taller. Leaf count, colour and markings vary naturally. Decorative pot not included. This is a young plant; mature leaf shape and size develop with time and growing conditions.
Pet friendly: No — best kept away from pets that chew plants.
