Discover the striking elegance of Alocasia Scalprum, a rare gem in The Alchemist Collective's exotic plant collection. This plant is celebrated for its long, narrow leaves that resemble the sharpness of a scalpel, hence its name. The leaves feature a deep, metallic green hue with prominent veining, creating a dramatic and architectural appearance. Alocasia Scalprum is a must-have for enthusiasts who appreciate bold, sculptural foliage in their indoor gardens.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
Humidity: High humidity is beneficial. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray to increase ambient moisture.
Special Recommendation: Due to the Alocasia Scalprum's sensitivity to cold temperatures, we strongly recommend our Winter Protection Package for those ordering during cooler months. This ensures your plant is well-protected against the cold while it travels from Maryland to your home.
