With its exotic look and refined habit, this rare Alocasia will easily find its place in a collection of tropical plants or for enthusiasts looking for an original variety.

🍃 Graphic foliage full of character

The Alocasia Tandurusa stands out for its elongated and wavy leaves, borne on long petioles. Their texture and venation give the plant a very sculptural appearance, which is particularly appreciated by Alocasia collectors.

Each new leaf brings its own spectacle 🌱: with Alocasias, the development of new foliage can be rapid when growing conditions are sufficiently warm, bright, and humid.

☀️ What light for the Alocasia Tandurusa?

Place your Alocasia in a bright to very bright spot, with indirect light. It particularly appreciates good lighting, which promotes the growth and development of its magnificent foliage.

💡 Avoid direct, intense sunlight behind a window, however, especially in summer, as it can cause leaf burn.

💧 Watering and humidity

The Alocasia Tandurusa appreciates a slightly moist substrate during its growing period, but it remains sensitive to excess water.

• 💧 Water when the surface of the substrate begins to dry out.
• 🪴 Use a draining and airy substrate to prevent the roots from sitting in water.
• 🌫️ Good ambient humidity promotes the appearance of beautiful new leaves.
• ⚠️ Avoid standing water in the decorative pot or saucer.

🌡️ Temperature and location

Native to tropical regions, the Alocasia Tandurusa enjoys a warm and stable atmosphere. Ideally, keep it at a temperature above 18°C and protect it from cold drafts.

It thrives particularly well in a bright room, an indoor greenhouse, or a space where humidity is naturally high. 🌴
