Alocasia ‘Platinum’

Alocasia ‘Platinum’ is a striking and highly sought-after houseplant, prized for its extraordinary metallic silver foliage. Its broad, sculptural leaves have an almost liquid sheen, giving the plant a futuristic appearance that sets it apart from more traditional Alocasia varieties.

This is a well-established plant in an 11cm pot, offering an excellent example of this unusual collector's variety. Its dramatic silver colouring creates a stunning contrast against darker foliage plants and makes an immediate statement in any indoor plant collection.

Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Alocasia are admired for their bold architectural growth and exotic appearance. Alocasia ‘Platinum’ is particularly desirable thanks to its unique silvery foliage, which appears almost metallic when viewed in bright, indirect light.

Like all Alocasia, it grows from tuberous rhizomes that store water and nutrients. Allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings and avoid leaving the plant sitting in water. A warm position above 16°C, away from cold draughts, will help encourage healthy growth.

For best results, place in bright, indirect light. While higher humidity can be beneficial, consistent watering and good light levels are far more important to long-term success.
