Alocasia 'Sarian' is a gorgeous variety of Elephant's Ear. There's no denying the plant's eye-catching foliage is its main attraction. Featuring large white veins and deep green foliage that gently undulates at the edges, gracefully balanced over delicately patterned stems.

These are definitely some of the easier Alocasia to grow as houseplants and thrive happily indoors if provided with the correct care and attention, creating that much desired tropical look, especially as they grow and get larger, with the ability to reach almost 3m in height. These beauties offer a remarkable depth of colour and will make the ultimate statement plant if placed on their own or will add texture, tone and variation to a perfectly curated plant corner, tabletop or shelf.

Provide your Elephants Sarian houseplant with a warm brightly lit location but be sure not to expose it to direct sunlight as this can damage the glossy textured leaves. This enchanter is also very fond of high humidity, so if you have a warm bright bathroom, this will be a great location. Note that keeping your Alocasia warm is important to avoid the Plant dropping its leaves.
