Scientific name: Alocasia x amazonica
The Amazonica's striking foliage is not one to be passed over. Deep green leaves with light, visible veins make this plant stand out from the crowd.
Part of the popular Elephant's Ear (Alocasia) family, Amazonica will grow a thick trunk in time, and increase the size of its leaves to create some real show stoppers. 'Graduate' your plant over time into larger pots to achieve this effect.
In the interim, place your Alocasia Amazonica in a well lit spot, water regularly without waterlogging the soil.
Follow these instructions to keep your Amazonica healthy and happy.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist. Water less often in winter.
Light: Bright, indirect light
Humidity: 50% humidity or higher
Fertilize: Diluted balanced feed every two weeks, spring to autumn.
