Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Alocasia lose its leaves in winter? This is a normal reaction to lower light and temperature — Alocasias enter a semi-dormant state in winter and may lose some of their foliage. Reduce watering, keep the temperature above 15 °C, and the plant will regrow in spring.
How can I increase humidity for my Alocasias? Three effective options: place the pots on a saucer filled with moist clay pebbles, mist the foliage several times a week, or place a humidifier nearby. The bathroom remains the naturally most favorable location.

🌿 2 complementary Alocasia varieties • 🪴 2 natural Selin baskets included • 🎨 Spectacular tropical foliage • ☀️ Partial shade • 💧 Regular watering
This Alocasia pack brings together two spectacular varieties of Elephant Ears native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia: the Alocasia Cucullata with large shiny green heart-shaped leaves, and the Alocasia Lauterbachiana with slender dark green leaves featuring striking veins. Two shapes, two textures, one lush tropical composition.
The pack includes 2 natural fiber Selin baskets suitable for Ø19 cm pots — ready to set up for an immediate decorative effect. Discover more in our complete Alocasia collection and in our tropical selection.
The 2 varieties in this pack
Two Alocasia with distinct personalities, chosen to visually complement each other:
- Alocasia Cucullata (Elephant Ear) — H60 cm | Pot Ø19 cm — large shiny green heart-shaped leaves, upright bright habit. Brings freshness and brightness.
- Alocasia Lauterbachiana (Lanceolate Elephant Ear) — H75 cm | Pot Ø19 cm — slender dark green leaves with spectacular marked veins, structured and graphic habit. Adds depth and contrast.
Why this duo? The round and bright shape of the Cucullata perfectly contrasts with the slender and graphic leaves of the Lauterbachiana — two plants that enhance each other. Also discover our Cucullata + Wentii pack and our Zebrina + Lauterbachiana pack for other combinations.
Light & location
Both Alocasia in this pack enjoy partial shade with bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn their delicate leaves — the veins of the Lauterbachiana are particularly sensitive.
- Light: partial shade, bright indirect light.
- Ideal: living room, bedroom, office, or entrance without direct sun.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
- Substrate: rich, light, and well-draining — potting soil for green plants with perlite.
Place them side by side or staggered to create a tropical jungle effect — their height difference (60 cm vs 75 cm) naturally creates depth.
Watering & care
Alocasia like humidity but hate stagnant water — the finger test will help you avoid overwatering. Our complete Alocasia guide details all the care subtleties for these plants.
- Watering: regular — keep the substrate slightly moist without soaking.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use pots with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: prefers 60 to 80% humidity — mist regularly or place near a humidifier.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 4 weeks in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Cleaning: gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine.
Alocasia love humidity — the bathroom is their ideal spot, or mist the foliage regularly.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
With their spectacular tropical foliage and natural Selin baskets, this duo instantly creates a lush urban jungle atmosphere.
- In combination: add a Strelitzia Nicolai for verticality or a Monstera deliciosa for cut leaves — together they form a complete urban jungle.
- Baskets included: the natural Selin baskets create immediate visual harmony and enhance the slender stems of both Alocasia.
- Ambiance: perfect as a statement duo in a large living room or spacious entrance — two shapes, two textures, one coherent tropical universe.
Place the Lauterbachiana slightly back and the Cucullata in front — their differences in shape and height create a naturally balanced composition.
Verdeia tips
- Humidity is their number one need — mist the leaves several times a week or place pots on a saucer filled with moist clay pebbles. Below 60% humidity, leaf edges start to brown.
- Leaves drooping? It's thirst — water generously and they will straighten up within hours. If they remain droopy after watering, check that roots are not suffocating from chronic overwatering.
- Old leaves yellow at the base — this is natural, leaf renewal is continuous in Alocasia. Cut yellowed leaves close to the stem with clean pruning shears to keep a neat appearance.
- Repot every 1 to 2 years in spring — Alocasia grow fast and quickly exhaust their substrate. See our repotting guide to prepare properly.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
