This Elephant Ear may be more compact than other varieties, but its distinctively veined, arrow-shaped leaves make it stand out.
Available in store
CloseThis dwarf Elephant Ear may be a good option for indoor gardeners with limited space. Growing to about a foot tall and wide, 'Bambino' Alocasia packs a punch with its distinctly veined arrowhead shaped leaves. Native to South America, Alocasia prefer more humid environments and ample indirect light for maximum growth (think understory plants). Regular misting will keep its leaves healthy and as an alternative, place the container on a pebble-filled saucer to which water has been added. Please keep this beauty out of the reach of munching pets and little humans, as both would have adverse reactions to 'Bambino' if ingested.
