Alocasia Rugosa ( Alocasia melo )
Please note that all plants we sell will be in bare roots. For all Alocasia sp., leaves become yellow and dry is natural due to the prolonged lack of water after a long-distance transit. As long as there is not root rot, plant it with well-draining soil, such as a mixture of coir fiber and perlite. New healthy green leaves will come out after a period of time. Please read the terms and conditions carefully before placing any orders. Thank you!

Alocasia melo is an exotic tropical plant with stiff, dark green leaves that look and feel like cardboard. This plant grows naturally on a rocky surface and is thus used to little water at its roots. Unlike most other Alocasias, therefore, it needs less water, but do try to ensure high humidity. Place it in partial shade. The optimum growing temperature lies between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.
