2 Alocasia macrorrhiza Live Starter Plants – Bare Root Giant Taro Houseplants

Grow an impressive tropical plant collection with this set of 2 Alocasia macrorrhiza live starter plants. Commonly known as Giant Taro, this tropical species is admired for its bold, lush foliage and vigorous growth habit, making it a popular choice for indoor collections and warm-climate landscapes.

Each order includes 2 live starter plants with fully established root systems. Plants are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots during production but are shipped bare root to reduce shipping costs and minimize transit stress. Nursery pots are not included. Each plant is carefully wrapped with its soil pod intact. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival to help minimize root disturbance.

Alocasia plants are sensitive to shipping and may experience leaf loss or cosmetic stress during transit. As rhizomatous plants, healthy specimens can produce new growth from their underground corms after acclimating to their new environment.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
