The plant usually stays around 30–50 cm indoors, but each leaf has enough substance to make it feel denser than many larger Alocasias. Because it comes from rocky Bornean habitats, it appreciates strong filtered light, excellent root aeration, and a drier rhythm than soft-leaved tropicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet much of the substrate dry before watering again, but keep the rhizome warm so growth does not stall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mineral-rich, barky mix suits it better than soft dense compost, and high humidity helps new leaves harden with cleaner edges. It is ideal for growers who want tactile, geological-looking foliage in a compact jewel format.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foliage Factory","offers":[{"title":"Baby (XS)","offer_id":53298962858314,"sku":"MM-MEC-0174","price":9.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/5115\/4506\/files\/0906d2_32289661c5b94561b08c09b6266541f9_mv2.jpg?v=1772579046","url":"https:\/\/foliage-factory.live\/products\/alocasia-melo","provider":"Foliage Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
