Alocasia macrorrhizos camouflage variegata

This is a highly sought-after cultivar of the Giant Taro, prized for its large, glossy, arrow-shaped leaves. Its defining feature is the irregular camouflage-like variegation, which displays dramatic patterns across the foliage, making each leaf a unique statement piece.

• Light: Requires bright, indirect light to keep the variegation vibrant. Avoid direct, harsh sun to prevent scorching.
• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
• Humidity: Needs high humidity (60-80%) for large, healthy leaves. Boost humidity with a humidifier or pebble tray.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist—allow the top few inches to dry slightly, then water thoroughly. Use a well-draining aroid mix to avoid soggy roots.

Additional Notes

This plant is generally a fast grower under ideal conditions, and mature plants can become quite large. It is common for Alocasias to shed an older leaf when a new one is emerging, especially when adjusting to new conditions.

This species is TOXIC if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.
