Alocasia Azlanii
Alocasia azlanii belongs to the family Araceae, which is the same family as the more commonly known aroid plants, such as Philodendrons and Monstera. Alocasia azlanii was first discovered in the Malaysian state of Perak in 2011 by Peter Boyce and his team. It was named after the Malaysian nature photographer, Azlan Ahmad.
The plant is endemic to the limestone hills in the Kinta Valley, which is situated in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a relatively small plant in comparison to other aroid plants, growing up to 30 cm in height. The leaves of Alocasia azlanii are heart-shaped and have a shiny, dark green color with silver patches.
The leaves of Alocasia azlanii are also unique in their appearance.
This plant is sold in soil.
Shipping
All plants are shipped with their roots wrapped in Sphagnum Moss, and plastic wrap to retain moisture for the root system. Foliage is then wrapped in a soft material, and then the whole plant is wrapped in isolation paper to secure the plant from movement in the box. Upon arrival to your home, check the roots for any signs of damage or rot. If rot appears, trim the affected roots with clean scissors or pruning shears, and plant into the new pot with the above specified growing media. We recommend waiting a day to water your new plant after repotting, as this will reduce the risk of root rot. Please note that yellowing or browning leaves could occur in transit.
