Alocasia – Giant Upright
Alocasia Bulbs for Sale | Giant Upright Elephant Ear
While many Alocasia plants produce downward-facing foliage, this rebel sends its spectacular leaves sky-high! Rather than the leaf surface facing the viewer, this Upright Elephant Ear shows off the undersides of its enormous, heart-shaped foliage. Beyond bringing a sense of being in a tropical jungle, these upward-pointing beauties draw the eye vertically, expanding the dimensions of the landscape dramatically. Inconspicuous blooms appear but are entirely overshadowed by the large, thick, leathery leaves. If stopping foot traffic around your home or office building sounds like a good time, plant a trio of these and then wait for the astonished reactions!
