Add a distinctive tropical aroid to your collection with this listing for 2 Alocasia plumbae 'Metallica' starter plants. This rare Alocasia is prized for its metallic-toned foliage, pronounced veining, and bold tropical appearance, making it an excellent choice for collectors and indoor plant enthusiasts.

This listing includes 2 live starter plants with fully established root systems. The smaller plants shown in the listing photos are representative of the plants you will receive. Each plant is shipped bare root in a protected soil pod to help reduce shipping stress. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival.

Alocasias are naturally sensitive to shipping, and some leaf loss during transit is normal. As rhizomatous plants, they store energy in underground corms and typically produce new growth after becoming established.

Starter plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation, but the nursery pots are not included. Plants are shipped bare root to reduce shipping costs and minimize transit stress.
