Alocasia Plumbae Metallica 2 Exact Live Starter Plants – Alocasia plumbea ‘Metallica’

This listing includes 2 exact Alocasia Plumbae Metallica live starter plants. Commonly sold as Alocasia Metallica, this tropical ornamental aroid is grown for its distinctive foliage, which can develop dark green to metallic-toned coloration and an upright, clumping appearance.

You will receive the 2 specific starter plants pictured in the listing photographs. Because these are actively growing young plants, they may have gained or lost leaves since the photographs were taken. Leaf count, foliage size, coloration, root development, and overall appearance can naturally change before shipment.

The plants are associated with the seller's 2-inch starter format but are specifically stated to ship in plugs. They are not being sold as established plants rooted into 2-inch nursery pots, and the temporary nursery pots are not included. Please do not remove or disturb the plugs immediately upon arrival.

The separate generic shipping notice also describes the plants as shipping bare root, which conflicts with the product-specific plug statement. Final plug versus bare-root shipping condition should be verified before publishing.

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.
