Details
The Alocasia Amazonica 'Bambino' is a compact and stylish tropical plant prized for its narrow, arrow-shaped leaves with bold, silvery-white veins. Its glossy, deep green foliage and upright growth habit make it a perfect choice for small spaces, tabletops, or as part of a curated plant collection.
Native to Southeast Asia, this variety is a smaller cousin of the classic Alocasia Amazonica, making it ideal for indoor gardeners seeking the iconic Alocasia look in a more compact form. With proper care, this plant adds a touch of elegance and a tropical vibe to any space.
- Common Names: Bambino Alocasia, Dwarf Amazonian Elephant Ear
- Botanical Name: Alocasia amazonica 'Bambino'

Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant foliage. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
