Alocasia Papilio

Alocasia Papilio — exact specimen pictured. Rooted in a chunky aroid mix.

The Vibe: She's pure elegance. Alocasia Papilio — named for the butterfly — carries deep, glossy emerald leaves etched with bold, silvery-white veins that trace across the blade like lace, framed by a fine pale edge that makes every leaf look outlined by hand. Follow her stems down and you'll see the mottled, butterfly-wing patterning that gives her her name. She's dramatic without being loud, the kind of plant that rewards a second look, and a third. For the collector who loves true species with real character, she's a quiet showstopper — and she won't be here long.

What You Will Receive:

• 🌱 The Exact Plant Pictured: This is a one-of-a-kind, WYSIWYG plant — you'll receive the exact rooted plant shown in the photo and video.

Grower's Pro Tip:
She's already rooted and established in a chunky, airy aroid mix, so she's off to a strong start — keep her warm, humid, and in bright indirect light. Keep a bag of our premium Alocasia substrate, Root-Phoria Diva, on hand for her next repot and she won't miss a beat.
