Alocasia Longiloba

Alocasia Longiloba is a classic and elegant Alocasia species known for its elongated arrowhead-shaped leaves, deep green coloration, and striking silver-blue veining.

Moderate in growth and reliable once established, Alocasia Longiloba performs well in bright indoor environments, greenhouse cabinets, and controlled grow spaces where its structure and vein contrast can fully develop.
