Alocasia cucullata grows with smooth green leaves, firm petioles and a softly hooded blade shape that gives clear structure in a pot. Its clumping base stays tidy as new shoots build density from the crown. Keep it warm, place it in bright filtered light and water after the mix has dried partway through.
Bring Alocasia cucullata home for clean green shape, upright growth and a calm tropical presence.
