Product name: Alocasia Melo (P10.5c)
Alocasia Melo, also known as Alocasia Rugosa 'Melo', is a relatively rare and sought-after cultivar within the Alocasia genus due to its striking, large, heart-shaped leaves. The leaves have a deep green color with prominent veining and a slightly glossy texture. The undersides of the leaves may have a reddish-purple hue.
The leaves of Alocasia Melo can grow to a significant size, often reaching 1 to 2 feet in length, making it an impressive focal point in any indoor or outdoor space. They have a unique textured surface, which is rugose, meaning it has a wrinkled or crinkled appearance, adding to its visual appeal.
Like other Alocasia species, Alocasia Melo is a tropical plant that grows from a corm (a modified underground stem) and typically forms clumps with multiple stems, producing a lush and full appearance.
