You will receive the exact two plants shown in the listing photos, each growing in 4-inch nursery pots with established root systems.

Alocasia are sensitive to shipping. Leaf loss, yellowing, or foliage damage may occur during transit and should be expected. Alocasia are rhizomatous plants and commonly produce new growth from healthy rhizomes, even if leaves are lost during shipping.

Natural variation in leaf texture, coloration, foliage density, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected. Minor cosmetic changes or new growth between listing photography and shipment are normal.
