Alocasia scabriuscula pairs broad green sagittate leaves with petioles marked by purple-brown dots, rings and broken lines. The spotted stems remain visible below the foliage, bringing detail beneath otherwise plain green blades. Its Bornean background and patterned petioles make it recognisable on green foliage alone. The plain leaf surface makes the dotted and ringed stems more noticeable below the foliage. The stem pattern remains visible because the green blades sit openly above it. Keep the leaves and stems clear of nibbling pets and children. Keep watering even during active growth, then lighter when new leaves slow.
