Alocasia
The Alocasia is thé plant of the moment! And that’s probably because of the beautifully patterned, astonishingly green and shiny leaves which will complement any stylish interior. The Alocasia originates in the tropical forests of South East Asia and is also known as the ‘elephant’s ear’. We have some excellent tips for caring for the plant: “The ideal temperature for this plant is ±20 degrees throughout the year. Water regularly, but not too much: the Alocasia doesn’t like to have wet feet.”
