2 Alocasia 'Plumbae Metallica' Starter Plants – Bare Root Live Alocasia

Grow a distinctive tropical aroid with this set of 2 Alocasia 'Plumbae Metallica' starter plants. This sought-after Alocasia is admired for its dramatic metallic-toned foliage, bold veining, and upright growth habit, making it an outstanding addition to rare houseplant collections and indoor tropical displays.

This listing includes 2 healthy starter plants with fully established root systems. Plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation but are not fully rooted into the nursery pots, making them ideal for growers looking for young plants. Each plant is shipped bare root with its original soil pod carefully wrapped to protect the root system during transit. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival.

Alocasias are naturally sensitive to shipping and may experience temporary leaf loss during transit. This is normal. Because they grow from underground rhizomes, healthy plants typically produce new growth after acclimating.
