The upper surface is deep bluish green, almost pewter in good light, cut by broad silver-white primary veins; turn a leaf over and the underside glows wine red. Few Alocasia offer that much drama from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatsoniana is generally treated as a form of the wider \u003cem\u003eAlocasia longiloba\u003c\/em\u003e group rather than a species in its own right, and Red Vein is a colour form selected from it. It stays a manageable size indoors, with leaves that can reach 40cm or more on a mature plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a tissue culture plantlet, supplied small and ready to grow on. Settle it into a high-humidity setup first, such as a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/collections\/terrariums\"\u003eterrarium\u003c\/a\u003e, propagator or grow cabinet, and move it to open room conditions gradually once it has put out new leaves. Give it bright indirect light, warmth above 18°C and water when the top of the substrate starts to dry.
