Alocasia Nishihira |
Wild foliage with deeply mottled stem variegations
Alocasia Nishihira (Schott) - Zone 8b-11 Cold Hardy - Easy Growing to 6+ ft tall. Introducing this new found Alocasia (from 2006). Grows to heights of about 6+ feet. resembles the Alocasia brancifolia, but is certainly different. These plants are bushier and readily pup. The leaves are a lighter, more green color and the lobes are not as widely spaced growing more compact. They begin producing offsets like mad at an early age, whereas the alocasia brancifolia rarely does until more mature. They are also much more cold tolerant and do not die down unless temperatures reach below freezing. It is safe to say going by my experience this winter that they can take mild freezes and certainly short periods of frost if protected. They can take more water to the root system and are a more hardy plant than brancifolia. The stems are mottled with extreme zebra patterns of light colored greens and creams. A very welcomed plant to my world and I hope it will be to yours also. These will make excellent potted specimens for ease of care and portability around your world.
