This rare Alocasia species has striking leaves that are deeply incised. It differs from most other Alocasia-species, because they generally have heart-shaped leaves. Because of the shape it looks a bit like a fern or palm leaf. The leaf stalk is gracefully spotted and resembles the stalk of the well-known Alocasia zebrina. The species originates from the rain forests of New Guinea. The plant can grow up to 2 meters, but when grown as an indoor plant, it remains much smaller. Make sure that the plant is placed in a light spot without direct sunlight, that there is a high humidity (or spray the leaves with water regularly) and that the soil is well-drained. 

Sowing description: The already germinated seed can further develop into Spaghnum-moss. After the formation of the first leaves, it can be repotted in a light soil mixture with e.g. Spaghnum, peat, coconut fiber and/or other organic material.
