Alocasia scalprum (Alocasia scalprum)

Native to the Philippines, the Alocasia scalprum is a true gem among aroids. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves have a deeply quilted texture and a metallic green sheen that catches the light in just the right way. Unlike broader-leafed alocasias, the scalprums blade-like form is compact and dramaticearning it its nickname, the “Sword Alocasia.” Perfect for adding sculptural interest to your indoor jungle, this variety stays relatively small and thrives in bright, indirect light with high humidity. It’s an ideal choice for terrariums, plant shelves, or any space that needs a bold, textural statement.
