Variant

Alocasia Sinuata, also known as "Quilted Dreams," is a rare and stunning Alocasia species prized for its ornamental foliage. This plant is known for its small, compact size and uniquely textured leaves. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and have a deeply quilted or puckered surface, giving them a distinctive, almost sculptural appearance. Alocasia Sinuata's leaves are arrowhead-shaped and can create a striking visual contrast in a collection of houseplants. Native to the Philippines, this Alocasia thrives in warm, humid environments and is often a favourite among collectors of exotic plants.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Care Guide

How to take care of Alocasia Sinuata

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Sinuata should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Alocasia Sinuata will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Alocasia Sinuata needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Alocasia Sinuata likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Alocasia Sinuata is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.
