DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Alocasia macrorrhizos Camouflage, also known as the Taro, has its origin in the tropics of Southeast Asia. This ornamental plant naturally grows in damp, shadowy environments like rainforests. It has a long history of cultivated use, particularly in Polynesia, where it was grown for its large, edible root tubers.

Characteristics
The Alocasia macrorrhizos Camouflage is most notable for its large, dramatic leaves that are sturdy and display a pattern resembling camouflage. This pattern of green and white spots alternates and is unique in every individual plant. The leaves of the Alocasia macrorrhizos Camouflage can grow up to 1.5 metres long and the plant itself can reach a height of 4 metres, making it a striking spectacle in any interior.

Care
Since the Alocasia macrorrhizos Camouflage comes from the tropics, it requires warm temperatures and high humidity to thrive. The plant should be placed in indirect sunlight as too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves. It is recommended to water the plant regularly, but with caution to prevent root rot. It is also important to feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season to promote optimum growth.
