Plant Information and Advice
- Common names: Alocasia Hooded Dwarf & Jewel Alocasia
- Scientific name: Alocasia cucullata & Alocasia bambino
- Description: a plant with rich green, heart-shaped leaves with prominent veins and long, green stalks, which can reach heights of 90cm tall. This plant is naturally found growing on dappled forest floors in tropical regions of South-East Asia and prefers to live in moist, humid conditions with bright indirect light. This plant would make a great addition to a rainforest set up used for millipedes, beetles, centipedes, mantids, tarantulas and even amphibians! This plant is relatively low maintenance and will thrive if conditions are right. We do want to mention that some species will nibble on the leaves and roots if planted directly into the tank’s substrate, so bare that in mind when choosing what plant species to use.
- Place of origin: South-East Asia
- Type: perennial, ground cover
- Habitat: tropical
- Humidity: 60% or more
- Lighting: bright, indirect light
- Temperature: 18-26˚C
- Watering: keep soil constantly moist, not soggy

Descriptions for both plants combined as they have very similar requirements.
