Alocasia Wentii’s glossy green leaves have its family’s classic broad shape and feature a slightly ruffled texture and purple-hued undersides. The stunning color beneath the leaves is an adaptation to the mottled light of its native Asian rainforest floor.
The plant grows briskly in good conditions and grows to about three feet high and wide; its broad leaves can reach over a foot in length. The warmth-loving Wentii can remain evergreen but goes dormant in cool weather. It makes an excellent houseplant and is also a suitable outdoor landscape plant in warm, humid climates.
