Alocasia wentii is a stunning tropical foliage plant, with a compact habit and heart- to arrow-shaped leaves. This Alocasia wentii is somewhat hardier than most types of Alocasia. The leaves have glossy green topsides and purplish reverses. Alocasia wentii is a crossbreed of A. odora and A. gageana. Alocasia is native to the tropical and temperate parts of South East Asia, where it grows as an evergreen herbaceous perennial in the shady, humid understorey layers of rainforests. The large, shiny leaves on strong stems make it a handsome houseplant. Alocasia wentii is commonly known as Hardy Elephant’s ears or Elephant’s ears. Evanthia has Alocasia wentii starting material available all year round, as tissue culture young plants. Ask our team for the Alocasia cultivation manual for commercial production.
