Alocasia Brancifolia or Branchifolia - No 'true' Common Name - Hardy to Zone 9 outdoors. This is a very unusual looking Alocasia comes straight from the collectors chest and is now available to you! My wife calls them "The Crocodilian" due to the look of the mottled stem pattern and claw like leaves when younger. Resembling a philodendron in leaf structure, this pale olive green leafed Alocasia grows to heights of at least 5-7 ft with long lobed leaflets and the leaves themselves (not counting the stems) grow to at least 3+ft long and almost as wide. The leaflets are exaggeratedly lobed (to say the least) and will slightly hang down when mature and make anyone's collection or garden that much more appealing. The stems are vividly mottled with dark greens, light pinks to light browns (giving the slight appearance of a reptile skin if you will) over a light pink, olive green or white background (depending on the amount of light that the plant receives). They are very strong stemmed supporting their Jurassic looking leaves. When mature, these could be used in horror movies as a background plant due to their eerie appearance in dim lit areas. They like bright indirect light but can also be an excellent indoor house plant in colder areas as they tolerate shade as well! In warmer climates this would be great for the patio, shaded pool area or an attractive landscape specimen! Makes an excellent indoor potted specimen! Should be grown in bright filtered light if outdoors and bright lighted areas if grown indoors. It is not suited for direct sun exposure. What an awesome RARE and Hard to Find plant! Makes an Excellent indoor potted specimen!
Rare and Hard to Find in Cultivation!
