ALOCASIA MAYAN MASK GREEN EXOTIC WITH UPRIGHT GREEN LEAVES PURPLE ON THE UNDERSIDES

MEDIUM HEIGHT MATURE – TAKES COASTAL SUN

This hybrid variety of Alocasia is known for its large upright leaves that are green on the upper dorsal side with purple undersides.  Both sides show prominent yellow veins. It is easy to grow but does best if you are in a freeze-free area.  It likes good draining soil, average water.  But, you back off on water during winter’s cold.  Mature height is six to eight feet.  Leaves can easily get three feet long.  On the coast it tolerates full sun or part sun.  Far inland areas (frost free) would be bright filtered light or a small amount of sun.  On sale are our 15 gallon size as shown n the first seven photos.  The last photo is c/o the National Gardening Association where this species is being used as a patio plant.
