Arguably the most striking of the Alocasia varieties, Jacklyn Alocasia captivates with its deeply lobed leaves and intricately outlined veins. Its lush, deep green foliage and impressive mature height make Alocasia tandurusa an essential addition to any plant collector’s repertoire. With a potential height of 5 to 8 feet and a width of 2 to 4 feet, this tropical gem demands attention.
Despite its sophisticated and exotic appearance, the care required for Jacklyn is surprisingly straightforward. Like other Aroid plants, Alocasia serves as a natural air purifier, making it a beneficial presence in any room of your home.
Best Locations for Growing Jacklyn Alocasia
Transform your living room, bedroom, or brightly lit hallway into a botanical haven by showcasing Jacklyn as the centerpiece. As a floor plant, Alocasia excels in high-traffic areas, introducing a striking vertical element to your decor. Additionally, it makes a dramatic statement in a covered outdoor seating area or entryway during the summer months. Place Alocasia away from children and pets and all parts of the plant are poisonous.
Jacklyn Alocasia Sunlight Requirements
Jacklyn Alocasia thrives under a variety of lighting conditions. Bright indirect to medium light is optimal for promoting consistent growth while enhancing the plant’s coloration. Ideally, place it near an east or west-facing window, though a north-facing window will suffice. Avoid exposing the plant to extremely bright light, especially during the hottest part of the day in a south-facing window, as this can lead to leaf bleaching and scorching.
Jacklyn Alocasia Care
Select a pot with ample drainage holes for planting Alocasia. An all-purpose potting mix should be supplemented with perlite or pumice to ensure excellent drainage. Opt for a peat-free potting mix not only for environmental considerations but also to minimize the risk of overwatering. As an evergreen tropical plant, Alocasia continues to grow during the winter months and requires consistent watering and fertilizing for robust and healthy development.
Watering Jacklyn Alocasia
Water your Jacklyn Alocasia when the top 1 to 2 inches of potting mix feel dry to the touch. Thoroughly soak the plant until excess water drains from the bottom and all the growing medium is moistened. For larger floor plants, consider using a plastic grower pot placed within a decorative cache pot that has a solid base. To enhance humidity, place a 1 to 2 inch layer of gravel or LECA balls in the bottom of the cache pot to elevate the plant above any excess water.
Feeding Jacklyn Alocasia
To support vigorous growth and vibrant coloration, lightly feed the plant year-round. Choose a balanced houseplant fertilizer in either a slow-release pellet or liquid form. Apply the feed at half the manufacturer’s recommended dosage every 6 to 8 weeks to ensure your Jacklyn Alocasia thrives.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
