Alocasia gageana – Dwarf Elephant Ear 🐘🌿

Alocasia gageana is a bold yet compact tropical plant, loved for its broad, glossy green leaves and upright, architectural form. Unlike its larger cousins, this dwarf variety fits beautifully into indoor spaces, bringing a lush, jungle feel without taking over.

Key Features:

✔ Large, paddle-shaped leaves with a rich green shine
✔ More compact and manageable than other elephant ear varieties
✔ Upright growth – great as a floor plant or large container centrepiece
✔ Brings a tropical vibe indoors or to shaded patios in summer
✔ Fast-growing with the right warmth and care

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – tolerates some shade but avoid direct sun

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist – allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings

• Humidity: Loves high humidity – mist regularly or place near a humidifier

• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining mix with compost, bark, and perlite

• Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring/summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep above 15°C – protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes

• Dormancy: May slow growth or go semi-dormant in cooler months – reduce watering slightly

🌿 Tip: Clean the leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and help prevent pests.
