Note to customer: This is a limited batch release! We noticed something special about these Alocasia watsoniana purchased from a local vendor and believe they might actually be a different variety, possibly Alocasia 'Sedenii'. You might even see the same plant being offered from other retailers under the watsoniana name - and we are listing them with that name also but including this note for you. If you decide to adopt one, we hope you will share pictures of them as they develop their mature foliage and produce inflorescences! See last pic of the original Alocasia watsoniana for comparison. We will do our best to update this listing when/if we are able to confirm the species, but please know we will not be able to offer refunds for purchases if we later confirm it to be different from either of those Alocasia.

Alocasia watsoniana is an ultimate collector's Alocasia with its stunning foliage shaped like silvery-veined shields with dark red to purple undersides, and are puckered in a unique circular manner between the main veins and around the petiole attachment at the center of the leaf!

~Do Not let Alocasia sit in excess water. Alocasia are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun. Though some larger varieties can be acclimated to full sun, our Alocasia have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.

~Alocasia are rhizomatous, meaning as they grow they will produce offshoots on short stems at or below the soil line. If you see bulb-like balls [known as corms] in the pot, Do Not remove them as these will grow to become new Alocasia!
