About this plant

Alocasia 'Bambino' is the compact form of the African mask plant. Its narrow, arrow-shaped leaves are dark green with bold white veins and purple undersides, and it stays small enough for a desk or shelf.

Give it bright, indirect light, warmth and humidity, and keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. It is very sensitive to cold, so keep it away from drafty windows and from heating or cooling vents.

It comes in a 4 inch pot, the size in stock now. It suits a small space and anyone who wants the striking look of an alocasia in a plant that will not outgrow the room.

The ASPCA lists Alocasia as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

From November to April, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection (a heat pack) at checkout. Plants shipped in cold weather without it are not covered for cold damage.
