🌼 Cultivation & Care Information

  • Common Name: Parasol Alocasia

  • Botanical Name: Alocasia 'Parasol'

  • Plant Type: Rare tropical aroid

  • Sun Requirements: Bright, filtered, indirect light (Essential for maintaining its stunning leaf color and structural integrity; avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can scorch its leaves).
