Sculptural and dramatic, Mayan Mask unfurls shield-like leaves etched with pale veins and often tinted burgundy beneath—instant tropical theater for living rooms, sunrooms, and shaded patios. The tall petioles and broad, arrow-shaped blades create height and movement, reading like living art in modern or jungle-inspired spaces.
Mayan Mask Alocasia Care
Give bright, indirect light (near an east window or a few feet back from a south/west exposure); avoid harsh midday rays that can scorch. Plant in a chunky, fast-draining mix—high-quality potting soil blended with bark and perlite—and keep the root zone evenly moist but never waterlogged.
Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches are dry, then let excess drain. Warmth and humidity are key: 65–85°F with 50–60%+ humidity keeps foliage pristine; use a pebble tray, humidifier, or group plants together.
Feed lightly during spring–summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks; pause in fall–winter as growth slows. Wipe dust from leaves to maximize photosynthesis, rotate the pot for even form, and remove yellowing or torn leaves at the base. Watch for spider mites in dry air and treat early. Toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children.
Mayan Mask Alocasia Spacing
Indoors, allow 24–36 inches of elbow room so leaves can expand without brushing walls or walkways. Start in a sturdy pot 12–16 inches wide with drainage; size up only when roots circle the pot.
For a paired, designer look, space planters 3–4 feet apart to frame sofas, entryways, or mirrors. Outdoors (warm zones), site in bright shade or dappled light with shelter from strong winds.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
