Alocasia 'Ivory Coast' is a cultivated hybrid Alocasia with glossy dark green leaves, pale vein contrast and pinkish to grey-red petioles. The leaves rise from the base on upright stems, forming a tidy clump with arrow-shaped foliage held above coloured stems.
The sagittate blades show a clear contrast between darker blade tissue and lighter veins. The petioles stay visible above the pot, especially on young to medium-sized plants where the stems remain part of the overall look.
Alocasia 'Ivory Coast' grows from a fleshy base with leaves held individually on upright petioles. New leaves usually emerge rolled and soft before firming into glossy, darker blades. The stems are part of the plant’s visible structure, so it needs enough space for the petioles to rise cleanly from the pot.
Firm leaf texture and fleshy Alocasia roots call for a substrate that holds light moisture while draining quickly. Heavy, compacted soil can stay wet around the roots for too long, especially in cooler indoor conditions.
Alocasia 'Ivory Coast' is toxic if chewed. Like other Alocasia, it contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals that can affect the mouth, throat and stomach of pets and people. Keep it away from cats, dogs and small children.
Alocasia 'Ivory Coast' traces to the patented hybrid 'ALO1', selected from a cultivated cross involving Alocasia 'Aurora' and a lowii-line Alocasia parent.
Alocasia 'Ivory Coast' brings dark glossy blades, pale veins and coloured petioles together in one upright clumping plant.
