Alocasia scabriuscula – Textured Elegance with Jungle Vibes 🌿✨

Alocasia scabriuscula is a rare, exotic variety known for its elongated, textured leaves with a deep green hue and rugged, almost corrugated surface. With its upright growth and dramatic foliage, it makes a bold statement in any indoor jungle. A great choice for collectors and fans of unique leaf form and surface texture.

Key Features:

✔ Deep green, narrow and highly textured leaves
✔ Sculptural and upright growth – a real focal point
✔ More tolerant of low humidity than many other Alocasias
✔ Compact to medium in size – suitable for interior containers
✔ A rare and sought-after addition to Alocasia collections

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – can tolerate dappled shade

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, but allow top 2–3cm to dry between waterings

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, but is a bit more forgiving than most Alocasias

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix (e.g., coco coir, perlite, orchid bark blend)

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during active growth with a balanced liquid fertiliser

• Temperature: Loves warmth – keep in 18–26°C and avoid sudden cold

• Dormancy: May go semi-dormant in winter – reduce watering and resume care in spring

🌿 Tip: This Alocasia is less prone to spider mites than others, but still check under the leaves regularly.
