Variant

Alocasia Teletubbies, is a rare and whimsical variety of elephant ear, believed to be a natural mutation of Alocasia ‘Stingray’ or Alocasia ‘Loco’. This distinctive plant is recognized for its thick, glossy, paddle-shaped leaves with rippling, wavy edges and a strong, upright structure. The leaves are held high on sturdy petioles that radiate from a central base, forming a playful, umbrella-like silhouette reminiscent of the quirky antenna shapes of the Teletubbies, hence its charming name. With its deep green, subtly veined, and slightly leathery foliage, Alocasia Teletubbies is both bold and sculptural, making it a statement piece in any tropical or modern plant display.

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 Teletubbies

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Teletubbies 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: Medium - Bright

Alocasia Teletubbies will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Alocasia Teletubbies 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: Medium

Alocasia Teletubbies will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

Alocasia Teletubbies 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.
