Native to Borneo, this plant boasts unique, soft, velcro-like textured leaves that are beautifully lobed, making it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection. Its compact, non-climbing growth habit makes it ideal for small spaces, where it can serve as a captivating focal point.

Native to: Alocasia sp. 'Jacklyn' is native to the tropical rainforests of Borneo, where it thrives in humid, shaded environments.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top layer of soil begins to dry out. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant's growth slows.
Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight to dappled shade. It is well-suited to north or east-facing windows where it can receive filtered light without direct exposure, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
Humidity: Although Alocasia sp. 'Jacklyn' can grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet, it will thrive with higher humidity levels, typical of its native tropical habitat. To maintain adequate humidity, consider grouping your tropical plants together or placing the Alocasia in a bathroom or kitchen that gets regular use. Alternatively, using a humidifier can help create a more humid environment.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 27°C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold and prefers the warmth and stability of indoor conditions.
