Add a rare tropical aroid to your indoor collection with this set of 2 Alocasia puncak borneensis starter plants. This striking species is admired for its bold foliage, pronounced leaf veining, and upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts of unusual tropical plants.
This listing includes 2 healthy starter plants with fully established root systems. Plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation but are not fully rooted into the pots, making them ideal for growers looking for young plants. Each plant ships bare root with its original soil pod carefully wrapped to help protect the roots during transit. Do not remove the plant from the soil pod upon arrival.
Alocasias are naturally sensitive to shipping and may experience leaf loss during transit. This is normal. As rhizomatous plants, healthy specimens typically produce new growth from their underground rhizomes under suitable growing conditions.
The first listing photo shows a mature plant for reference only. You will receive the starter plant shown in the additional listing photos.
