Alocasia Balloon Heart 2 Specific Starter Live Plants – Alocasia ‘Balloon Heart’

This listing includes 2 specific Alocasia Balloon Heart live starter plants with fully established root systems. You will receive the specific young plants pictured. Any mature-plant photos are provided for reference only and do not represent the size or appearance of the plants being shipped.

Alocasia Balloon Heart is a tropical ornamental aroid grown for its distinctive foliage, coloration, and prominent veining. It has a rhizomatous growth habit, with new foliage emerging from the plant's underground storage structure. Leaf count, coloration, venation, and overall appearance can naturally change as each plant develops.

Starter Size & Shipping Disclosure: These starter plants are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots and are not fully rooted into those pots. The 2-inch nursery pots are not included. The product information also instructs customers not to remove the plants from their soil pods, while the generic Shipping Notice describes bare-root shipping. These statements conflict, so the final shipping condition should be confirmed before publishing.

Alocasia Shipping Disclosure: Alocasia can be sensitive to shipping and leaf loss may occur during transit. A plant arriving with reduced foliage is not necessarily dead. These plants grow from rhizomatous underground structures and may produce new foliage when maintained under appropriate conditions.

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:

• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.

Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.

Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
