Alocasia Micholitziana Round Leaf 8cm Pot 15cm Height House Plant

Alocasia micholitziana ‘Round Leaf’ is a refined, velvety-leaved Alocasia prized for its softer, more rounded foliage compared to the sharper arrow shapes seen in other forms. It offers the same dramatic contrast and texture that collectors love, but with a fuller, more sculptural silhouette.

This variety keeps the deep green, almost suede-like surface typical of micholitziana, paired with subtle veining and a slightly puckered texture that catches the light beautifully.

🌱 Foliage

• Rounded to softly heart-shaped leaves

• Deep forest green colouring

• Velvety, matte texture

• Prominent yet refined pale veining

• Upright, clumping growth habit

The “Round Leaf” form feels less angular than varieties like ‘Frydek’, giving it a softer, more contemporary look while still delivering that signature Alocasia drama.

📏 Growth & Size

• Typical indoor height: 40–70 cm

• Moderate growth in warm, bright conditions

• Forms a compact clump from underground rhizomes

It works well on shelves, plant stands or as a statement tabletop specimen.

---

🌤️ Position & Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Avoid direct sunlight (can scorch leaves)

• Too little light may slow growth and reduce leaf size

Consistency is key — Alocasias dislike frequent repositioning.

---

💧 Watering

• Keep compost lightly moist but never waterlogged

• Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering

• Reduce watering in winter

• Excellent drainage is essential

Alocasias are sensitive to overwatering, so a chunky, well-draining aroid mix is ideal.

---

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–26°C

• Avoid cold draughts

• Benefits from higher humidity (50%+ preferred)

If your indoor air is dry, grouping plants or using a humidifier can help prevent crispy leaf edges.

🌿 Care Notes

• May enter semi-dormancy in cooler months

• Occasional leaf drop can occur as part of normal growth

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer
