Alocasia Nairobi Nights – Grower’s Choice Starter Plant

Alocasia Nairobi Nights is a bold, moody variety known for its elongated foliage and deep, saturated green tones. Leaves develop with a sleek, slightly glossy finish and pronounced veining that becomes more dramatic as the plant matures. The overall look is refined and architectural, with a darker presence than many common Alocasias.

What sets Nairobi Nights apart is its posture and attitude. Leaves emerge upright and confident, creating a strong vertical silhouette rather than a soft or sprawling form. As the plant establishes, foliage lengthens and deepens in color, giving it a striking, almost nocturnal quality that feels intentional and composed rather than ornamental.

This listing is for a Grower’s Choice Alocasia Nairobi Nights starter plant, not a corm. Plants are selected by me at the time of fulfillment based on overall health, root development, and growth stage. Starter plants are rooted, actively growing, and grown from my personal collection.

Starter plants are juvenile, established plants with approximately 1–3 leaves at the time of shipment. These plants are rooted and actively growing but still early in development. Leaf size, shape, and depth of color will continue to evolve as the plant matures.

Photos are representative only. You will not receive the exact plant shown. Images represent typical size, shape, and growth stage.

What to Expect

• This listing is for an established starter plant, not a corm

• Starter plants typically have 1–3 leaves at the time of shipment

• Plants are rooted and actively growing

• Leaf length and depth of color will increase with maturity

• Minor cosmetic imperfections are normal with living plants

• Temporary stress from shipping or environmental changes is possible

I do not ship unhealthy or compromised plants. Each plant is inspected prior to shipping to ensure strong roots and overall health.

Care Responsibility

Once the plant leaves my care, ongoing care becomes the responsibility of the buyer. This includes providing appropriate light, warmth, humidity, moisture management, and allowing time for acclimation after shipping.

I am not responsible for damage caused by improper care, environmental conditions, shipping delays, or temperature exposure after shipment.

I strongly recommend purchasing a heat pack and upgrading shipping when temperatures are cooler, as Alocasia starter plants are sensitive to cold and temperature fluctuations.

A Note on Growing

Alocasia Nairobi Nights rewards growers who appreciate structure and patience. Early growth may feel measured, but consistent conditions allow the plant to develop longer, darker foliage and a strong, upright presence over time. My goal is to send you a healthy, well-rooted starter plant with strong growth potential so it can mature into its full, dramatic form in your care.
