Alocasia ‘Platinum’ — sometimes called Platinum Elephant Ear — is a striking, collector-favourite Alocasia known for its shimmering silver foliage and sculptural form. Each leaf has a cool metallic sheen and defined venation, giving it a futuristic, almost unreal look. Compact, elegant, and a total showpiece, this variety brings instant drama to shelves and side tables. Although it looks high-end, it’s surprisingly manageable with the right care, making it a brilliant choice for plant lovers who want something rare and special in their indoor jungle.

Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is perfect. A little morning sun would be chef's kiss for this plant, but would avoid harsher midday or evening sun. ,

Watering: Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering. Likes consistent moisture but never soggy soil. Use rainwater or filtered if possible—tap water can cause crisping.

Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Hates temperature swings and dry air—keep it cosy and away from draughts.

Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is ideal—chunky, well-draining, and moisture-balanced to support healthy roots and lush foliage.

Hot tips: Loves humidity—aim for 60% or more. Avoid misting the leaves directly. May go semi-dormant in winter—cut back watering and wait for spring to bounce back. Wipe leaves gently to keep them dust-free and glowing.

Pet Friendly: NO
