Alocasia Amazonica 'Bambino' Plant

So adorable! A miniature version of the classic Alocasia Polly. Indeed, it has similar arrow-shaped leaves and a glossy dark color. The 'Bambino' variety can reach 30-45 cm in height when mature. Alocasias prefer bright light and are slightly root-bound. They are also heavy feeders, requiring plenty of water and fertilizer. During their growing season (summer), it is recommended to keep the soil slightly moist and fertilize regularly.

Caution! Risk of toxicity if ingested. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid – risk of irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
