Hi, I am Alocasia

I'm an Alocasia Cucullata. You may also know me as an Elephant's Ear. I am a true tropical plant and bring jungle vibes into your home. With my arrow-shaped leaves, I am a real eye-catcher. Yes, you want me in your spot!

I come from very far away, specifically from the southern parts of Asia. Here I grow in the tropical jungles and can grow over two meters tall! In these rainforests, I am also used as a shelter from the rain with my large leaves. Multifunctional is what they also call me!

What do I like?

I like a regular sip of lukewarm water, but be careful not to overwater me. During the growing season, I like to get fertilizer twice a month.

Adopt Rainforest

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
