ALOCASIA
Boasting some of the most striking foliage in the houseplant world, the Alocasia is an increasingly popular addition to indoor plant collections due to its unmatched visual and sculptural appeal. There are around 80 species of this distinctly veined stunner native to subtropical Asia and eastern Australia, and some specimens boast leaves that can grow up to almost three feet long.
Alocasias need bright, but indirect light. This is due to the plant’s natural habitat, on the forest floor beneath the tree canopy. Direct sun will cause the leaves to burn, so avoid placing your Alocasia in a spot where it’ll be exposed to direct sun for a prolonged period. This plant is not tolerant of lower light conditions though, so make sure the space you’re placing yours in feels very bright. Alocasias are native to — and grow best — in humid environments, so avoid placing yours near to an A/C or a heater if possible.
The Alocasia plant is visually striking due to the size of its "oversized" leaves and its distinctive architectural style. This style makes Alocasia a popular choice in landscape design in Dubai, modern garden landscape design, villa landscaping, shaded gardens, patios, terraces, courtyards, and hotels in the UAE. Alocasia can be used alone or with other tropical plants to improve the depth and texture of contemporary landscapes all year round and also for residential landscaping, commercial landscape development, and sustainable landscape design. Furthermore, why? Because you will enjoy the benefits of having lush, dramatic green foliage in your landscape, the ornamental plants love the warm, humid environment in bright (but not direct) sunlight or fluorescent light
Alocasia brings a bold tropical character to Landscape Design Dubai projects, making it an excellent choice for luxury villas, hospitality spaces, offices, and premium landscape designs.
