Alocasia 'Scalprum' – Rare Elephant Ear Houseplant

Alocasia 'Scalprum' – Rare Tropical Aroid

Common Name: Elephant's Ear  |  Botanical Name: Alocasia samar lance

Meet one of the most striking aroids you can grow indoors. The Alocasia 'Scalprum' turns heads with its slender, elongated leaves that taper to a razor-sharp point—like a sculpted green scalpel emerging from rich, leathery foliage. Native to the lush tropics of Southeast Asia, this rare variety brings sculptural elegance and bold texture to any plant collection or interior space.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun (scorches leaves) and low light (dulls color).
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist; allow the top 25% to dry between waterings. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix to prevent root rot.
• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm, humid conditions (65–85°F). Keep away from cold drafts and dry air vents.
• Humidity Tip: Place on a pebble humidity tray or group with other tropicals to recreate that steamy jungle environment it loves.
