Alocasia Melo is prized for its thick, heavily textured leaves and deep blue green tone. This variety is known for its sculptural look and sturdy leaf structure, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate slow, intentional growth.
This listing is for a Grower’s Choice Alocasia Melo corm, selected by me based on overall health, firmness, and readiness at the time of shipment. Corms may be dormant, beginning to sprout, or actively rooting depending on timing and current growth conditions. All corms are viable and grown from my personal collection.

What to Expect
Alocasia Melo is a slower growing variety and requires patience
This listing is for a corm, not an established plant
Corms may arrive dormant or with early signs of growth
Sprouting timelines vary and can take weeks depending on conditions
Early growth may be slow as energy is directed toward root development
Each corm grows on its own timeline
I do not send unhealthy or compromised corms. Every corm is checked for firmness, viability, and overall health prior to shipping.
Care Responsibility
Once the corm leaves my care, ongoing care becomes the responsibility of the buyer. This includes proper lighting, watering, humidity, and acclimation. I am not responsible for damage caused by improper care, shipping delays, or temperature exposure after shipment.
I strongly recommend purchasing a heat pack and upgrading shipping, especially during cooler months, as Alocasia Melo is sensitive to cold.
A Note on Growing
Alocasia Melo thrives when given time to establish. Growth can be slow and deliberate, but the reward is a striking plant with unique texture and presence. My goal is to send you a healthy corm with strong potential so you can grow it out confidently.
