Sale price
$59.99
Regular price $29.99Alocasia 'Wentii' Elephant Ears Houseplant
The Alocasia 'Wentii' is a stunning tropical houseplant known for its dramatic foliage and distinctive coloration. This variety showcases dark green leaves adorned with prominent white veins on the top surface, while the undersides reveal a rich purple hue that adds depth and visual interest from every angle.
Growing Requirements
This Alocasia thrives in shade to partial shade conditions, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces with indirect light. Unlike many houseplants that require frequent watering, the Alocasia 'Wentii' prefers to stay on the drier side and should only be watered when the soil has dried out. Overwatering can lead to root issues, so allow the top few inches of soil to dry between waterings.
Temperature is a critical factor for this tropical plant. The Alocasia 'Wentii' must be kept warm at all times and is extremely sensitive to cold temperatures. Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or any areas where temperatures drop below 60°F. Ideal growing temperatures range from 65-85°F.
Distinctive Features
The common name "Elephant Ears" comes from the large, dramatic leaves that resemble elephant ears in shape. The contrasting white veins create a striking pattern against the dark green surface, while the purple undersides add an unexpected pop of color when leaves flutter or curl. This dual-toned coloration makes the Alocasia 'Wentii' a standout specimen in any plant collection.
Important Safety Information
Pet owners should note that this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the Alocasia 'Wentii' in a location where curious pets cannot access the leaves or stems. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation, drooling, and digestive discomfort in animals.
Care Tips
Maintain moderate to high humidity levels around your Alocasia 'Wentii' for optimal growth. While it tolerates average household humidity, occasional misting or placement near a humidifier will encourage larger, healthier leaves. Wipe the foliage periodically to remove dust and showcase the beautiful white veining and purple undersides.
