Description
Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage. Characterized by curved stems and pointy, cup-shaped leaves, the Tiny Dancer is unique compared to other plants in the genus and was named the “most unusual aroid” by the International Aroid Society in 2013.Alocasia Tiny Dancer prefers bright filtered sunlight but can also withstand low light.Although a cultivar, the Alocasia tiny dancer has retained all the primary characteristics of the Alocasia genus. Slightly cupped Alocasia tiny dancer leaves grow on long light green stems that emerge from the base of the plant, creating a playful bushy form by the time. Each leaf grows to 4 inches in length, has a pointed tip and a slightly upwards bent leaf plate.Alocasia does not tolerate excess water in the pot and is prone to rot. On the other hand, lack of moisture also adversely affects the plant, slows its growth, and often results in dry leaf tips. Proper watering is therefore crucial for the successful cultivation of an Alocasia tiny dancer.What all plants of tropical origin have in common is that they thrive in conditions of elevated levels of air moisture. As a typical representative of the tropics, the Alocasia tiny dancer also requires a humidity level of 50 percent or more.
