Alocasia Longiloba Silver

$19.99
Title

A highly sought-after, architectural houseplant prized for its long, dramatic, and sharply angled arrowhead foliage coated in a metallic, luminous silver-green sheen. This specific cultivar stands out because the classic dark green colour of the parent Alocasia longiloba species has been mostly replaced by a striking, pale silver surface framed by dark green margins and distinct contrasting veins.

Common Pests

Spider Mites

Spider Mites

What To Look For: Very fine webbing under leaves or between stems and leaves (especially in dry indoor air). Leaves may appear stippled (tiny yellow or white dots) or dusty; they may turn yellow, brown or drop. When you tap a leaf onto white paper, you might see tiny moving specks. (Often too small to see easily)

How To Treat: Increase humidity around the plant (since mites thrive in dry air). Spray plant thoroughly (both sides of leaves) with insecticidal soap or a miticide/plant-safe oil; repeat every few days. In heavy infestations, consider removing severely affected sections; isolate the plant.
