Alocasia gageana 🌿
A bold member of the Araceae family, Alocasia gageana is prized for its thick, sturdy stems and dramatic, upward-pointing foliage. Mature plants can produce striking, heart-shaped leaves with undulating edges that reach up to 60cm across, giving this variety an architectural, statement-making presence.
Native to the Kachin Hills of northern Myanmar, this plant brings a true tropical feel indoors and thrives as a feature in larger spaces.
