Alocasia Scalprum

The Alocasia Scalprum looks like it was designed, not grown. Its long, narrow leaves taper to a point like a scalpel blade, in deep green with subtle texture. It is an architectural plant for modern spaces.

Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, it loves warmth and humidity. Give it bright indirect light and consistent moisture, and it rewards you with a sculptural, upright clump of striking foliage.
