Description

Alocasia 'Tiny Dancer' features small, narrow leaves cup upward on slender, arching stems, giving the plant a light, elegant silhouette that looks almost like a cluster of tiny dancers in motion. The leaf shape is unique within the genus as rather than the broad, arrow-shaped foliage of most Alocasias, 'Tiny Dancer' produces narrow blades that curve and twist, creating a structural, modern look. It stays genuinely small even at maturity, making it ideal for windowsills, desks, and curated displays.

Needs high humidity

This plant thrives in high humidity and benefits from a consistently humid environment. Good humidity levels help support healthy growth and keep the foliage healthy. To increase humidity, use a humidifier or place the plant in a naturally humid room like a bathroom or kitchen. Plant cabinets, grow tents, and terrariums can also help create stable humidity for tropical houseplants, especially in drier homes. When using enclosed growing spaces, ensure there is adequate airflow to prevent excess moisture build-up. Adding sphagnum moss around the stem can also help hold moisture and improve growing conditions. Read moreShow less

Origins

Alocasia 'Tiny Dancer' is a hybrid between Alocasia brisbanensis and Alocasia odora, developed by LariAnn Garner of Aroidia Research in Florida. Its parent species are native to Southeast Asia and Australasia. The compact, cup-shaped leaf form is a result of selective breeding, creating a plant that is architecturally interesting at a fraction of the size of most Alocasias.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my plant come with a pot?
Your plant will arrive in its nursery grow pot — the plastic pot it's been growing in. We don't include a decorative pot as standard, and there's a good reason for that: it means you get to choose one that fits your space and style, rather than being stuck with something that doesn't suit your home.

It also means you're not paying extra for a pot you might not want. The nursery pot is perfectly fine to keep your plant in for a while, just pop it inside a decorative cover pot or cache pot and you're good to go. When you're ready to repot (usually after a growing season or when roots start poking out the bottom), you can move it into something more permanent with fresh soil.

If you're not sure what size cover pot to go for, check the pot selector tool listed above, you'll want a decorative pot that's a centimetre or two wider than that to give it a comfortable fit.
How big will my plant be when it arrives?
Every plant on our site includes the pot size (e.g. 12cm) and, where possible, an approximate height. That's the most reliable way to set your expectations, photos can sometimes make a plant look larger or smaller than it really is.

If you're thinking "that sounds quite small for the price," here's something worth knowing: younger, smaller plants almost always adapt better to your home than larger ones. They adjust faster to your light and humidity, put out new growth more quickly, and tend to establish stronger root systems long-term. A plant that grows into your space will usually outperform one that was already big when it arrived.

That said, every plant is an individual. The one you receive may vary slightly in height, shape, or fullness compared to the photo, that's the nature of living things, not a quality issue. We select healthy, well-established specimens, and if you ever feel your plant doesn't match what you were expecting, just get in touch and we'll take a look.
What makes your plants different from the supermarket or garden centre?
There's a big difference between a plant that's been sitting under on a retail shelf and one that's been looked after and cared for by people who specialise in exactly this.

Our plants are grown in house or sourced from specialist nurseries, many of them varieties you simply won't find at your local garden centre or supermarket. Before anything leaves us, it's checked over by our horticultural team to make sure it's healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your home. We're not shifting volume off a pallet, we're choosing plants we'd want to keep ourselves.

When you buy from a supermarket, you get a plant and a generic care label. When you buy from us, you get the knowledge that comes with it, detailed care guidance, a team you can actually contact if something isn't going right, and the confidence that what's arriving has been looked after properly from the moment it was grown to the moment it reaches your door.

We're a specialist nursery first, not a retailer that happens to sell plants. That's the difference, and you'll see it the moment you open the box.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
First things first, unbox it as soon as you can. Plants don't love being in dark boxes any more than you would, and the sooner yours is out and breathing, the better.

Remove all the packaging carefully, give the soil a check with your finger, and water lightly if it feels dry. Then find it a spot with appropriate light, but avoid putting it straight into harsh direct sun or next to a radiator. Think of it like arriving somewhere new after a long journey: it needs a moment to adjust.

It's completely normal for your plant to look a little tired or droopy after transit. This is called transit stress, and most plants bounce back within a week or two. You might see a yellow leaf or some drooping, don't panic, and resist the urge to overwater or start repotting straight away.

Our advice for the first couple of weeks: leave it in its nursery pot, water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry, and let it acclimatise to your home's light, temperature, and humidity. Once it's settled in and showing signs of new growth, you can think about repotting or moving it to its permanent spot.

Every plant we sell comes with a care guide on the product page so you'll know exactly what it needs going forward. And if anything doesn't look right, get in touch with our team, we're always happy to help.
Will my plant survive being shipped?
Yes! and we go to serious lengths to make sure of it. Every plant is hand-packed by our team with protective wrapping and secure, custom-designed boxes to keep it stable and safe in transit. We've shipped hundreds of thousands of plants across the UK and our packaging methods have been refined over years to handle the bumps and jolts of delivery.

During colder months, we monitor weather forecasts and offer heat packs where needed to protect against frost. In extreme conditions, we may hold your order for a day or two rather than risk sending it out, we'd rather you wait an extra day than receive a stressed plant.

That said, plants are living things, and the occasional transit wobble can happen. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't in the condition you'd expect, just get in touch within 48 hours with a photo, and we'll make it right, whether that's a replacement or a full refund. No fuss.

The short version: we treat every box like it's going to someone who really cares about what's inside, because it is.

Dancing leaves

Beautiful delicate looking plant which survived transit with no damage thanks to the wrapping tube and heat pack. Have had 2-3 small outer leaves turn yellow and drop but i'm sure that's due to me moving it around trying to work out the best spot for it to live in and what care it needs. It arrived in perfect condition and transit time was kept as short as possible by Grow Tropicals.

When I tell you that I want to come back as a Grow Tropicals plant in my next life, the care that went into delicately wrapping this plant for transit *forehead kiss to whoever did this*.

The plant itself, is too cute. I wanted it because of its quirkyness and it has definitely lived up to the expectation.

The plants came in perfect condition. They were wrapped so well and not a single plant had been damaged. The plants were all really lovely. I bought a mini mystery rescue box and sadly 1 out of the 5 didn't make it but the other 4 were great and plants I didn't own. Will definitely buying from here again!

The first time I ordered plants on line I was worried what state they’d arrive in having been boxed up & enduring delivery.
I’m so fortunate I chose House of Kojo when I did. They arrived in outstanding condition, fantastic packaging & clearly prepared for the journey with care. Since then I’ve not been as lucky elsewhere :smirk:
I’ve bought again & have recommended Kojo to others. They’ve never let me down :grinning_face_with_star_eyes:
