Alocasia micholitziana ‘Velvet Elvis has striking dark green velvety foliage with a pronounced white midrib and bright white veins that develop as the plant matures. Commonly referred to as the “Dwarf Frydek”, its leaves are slightly curved atop short green petioles.

~Do Not let Alocasia sit in excess water. Alocasia are prone to rot if left with wet feet. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun. Though some larger varieties can be acclimated to full sun, our Alocasia have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.

~Alocasia are rhizomatous, meaning as they grow they will produce offshoots on short stems at or below the soil line. If you see bulb-like balls [known as corms] in the pot, Do Not remove them as these will grow to become new Alocasia!
