🌿 Deeply lobed foliage • 🎨 Unique embossed texture • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 📏 H30 cm | Decorative pot Ø12 cm
Alocasia Jacklyn, also called Elephant Ear, stands out from all other Alocasias by its deeply lobed leaves with very pronounced veins — each leaf features deep cuts and an embossed texture that give it a sculptural effect rarely found in other tropical species in a compact pot. Discover our entire Alocasia collection.
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, it naturally grows in humid, shaded understories. Check out our complete Alocasia variety and care guide to choose the one that suits you.
Exposure & Location
Alocasia Jacklyn needs bright indirect light to maintain the depth of its lobes and the shine of its dark green foliage. In partial shade, growth slows and the foliage loses vigor.
- Exposure: bright indirect light — window without direct sun.
- Ideal for: office, shelf, bright living room, well-lit bedroom.
- Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, protected from drafts and sudden changes.
- Substrate: light, airy, and well-draining — universal potting soil lightened with perlite.
Watering & Care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2 to 3 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, once every two weeks in winter.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: prefers a humid atmosphere (60–70%) — mist regularly or group plants together.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Cleaning: gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to preserve the embossed texture.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
Its deeply cut foliage creates a strong contrast with smooth-leaved plants — this texture contrast is the key to a striking composition with Alocasia Jacklyn.
- Pair with: a Calathea medallion with broad, smooth leaves — the contrast between the marbled, uniform Calathea foliage and the deep lobes of the Alocasia creates an immediately readable textured composition.
- In an Alocasia collection: pair it with a Alocasia Zebrina with spectacular striped stems — same genus, two completely different characters.
- Decorative pot: a matte white or gray ceramic pot lets the sculpted foliage take center stage without competing — avoid overly decorative pots that visually compete with the lobes.
Verdeia Tips
- Humidity first: Alocasia Jacklyn is more sensitive to low ambient humidity than to underwatering — mist the foliage 2 to 3 times a week or place it on a bed of moist clay pebbles.
- Avoid drafts: even warm drafts quickly dry out the foliage and cause leaf edges to yellow — keep it away from open windows and fans.
- Normal winter dormancy: if a leaf yellows and dies in winter, don’t panic — Alocasia enters semi-dormancy and may lose some leaves before growing vigorously again in spring.

Our Verdeia commitments
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.
