Alocasia Melo

Alocasia Melo

This isn’t your average alocasia this is Melo, and she’s bringing bold, sculptural drama with a twist.

Her thick leaves have a rugged, almost stone like texture that feels more like a dinosaur than a houseplant. She's not fluffy, she's fierce.

Compact, rare, and deeply cool, Melo turns heads wherever she goes. She’s not a diva, but she does appreciate a bit of extra care think of her as your plant bestie with high standards and amazing style.

�?Why we love it:

🌿 Thick, textured foliage 
🌿 Deep, dark green leaves with striking veining
🌿 Compact, upright grower with major attitude
🌿 Adds bold structure to any plant shelf or terrarium setup

💡 Light: Bright, indirect light keeps her happiest, no harsh sun though, she’s got sensitive skin.

💧 Water: Keep her soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Let the top inch dry between waterings and avoid letting her sit in water.

🌱 Humidity: Loves high humidity, think rainforest spa vibes. A humidifier or terrarium life = big yes.

🌡�?Temperature: Warm and stable is the way. She hates the cold and doesn’t do well with drafts.

🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Nope, best to keep her away from curious paws and tiny hands.

🌿 Top Tip: Use a chunky, well draining soil mix, think aroids with extra oomph. She does not want wet feet.

The Alocasia Melo is a rare beauty with serious texture goals. She’s moody, mysterious, and totally mesmerising like a jungle queen carved from stone.
