Frequently Asked Questions
Can Alocasia macrorrhiza really live in an apartment? Yes, provided there is a space with good indirect light and enough room for its monumental leaves. Its leaves can reach 80-100 cm in length under optimal conditions. It’s a plant for large, bright spaces.
Are these XXL plants difficult to care for? No — despite their imposing size, they require the same care as most tropical plants: regular watering, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil. Their main requirement is space. Regularly clean the large leaves to optimize photosynthesis.

🌿 2 impressive XXL tropical plants • 🌴 Vertical Strelitzia + Large Alocasia • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌱 Fast growth
This XXL tropical pack brings together two spectacular plants with large, complementary foliage — the Strelitzia nicolai with large, structured dark green leaves that fan out elegantly, and the Alocasia macrorrhiza with monumental, shiny green heart-shaped leaves. Native to South Africa and Southeast Asia, these two giants create a majestic indoor jungle together. Strelitzia H85 cm + Alocasia H70 cm | Pot Ø19 cm each.
Discover it in our XXL large plants collection.
The 2 plants in this pack
This pack combines two XXL tropical plants with very complementary shapes:
- Strelitzia nicolai — large, structured dark green leaves in a vertical fan shape, H85 cm. Adds height and architectural verticality. Can produce spectacular white flowers after several years.
- Alocasia macrorrhiza — monumental shiny green heart-shaped leaves, upright and wide habit, H70 cm. Adds width and a lush presence.
The Strelitzia brings verticality, the Alocasia adds width — together they naturally balance the space.
What’s included
- 1 Strelitzia nicolai — Ø19 cm — H85 cm
- 1 Alocasia macrorrhiza — Ø19 cm — H70 cm
These two XXL plants need space — allow at least 1.5 m² for each to thrive freely. Also available with Selin baskets in our version with baskets included.
Light & location
- Ideal light: bright indirect light — the Strelitzia tolerates more light than the Alocasia.
- Avoid: prolonged direct sunlight which burns the large Alocasia leaves.
- Space: large living room, spacious entrance, bright office, or conservatory — these two XXL plants need room to spread out.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden changes.
Place them staggered rather than side by side to create depth and highlight their different heights. Check our light and humidity guide to find the best spot.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular — keep the soil slightly moist without soaking.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: pots must have drainage holes.
- Humidity: 50-70% recommended — mist occasionally.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid green plant fertilizer every 2-4 weeks in spring-summer.
- Cleaning: regularly wipe large leaves with a damp cloth to improve photosynthesis.
Alocasia leaves that droop slightly signal thirst — water and they will quickly straighten up. Check our diagnosis guide to quickly identify any issues.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Their spectacular XXL foliage instantly transforms a large space into a majestic urban jungle — a statement composition that needs nothing else.
- Statement duo: placed staggered in a living room or entrance, their different heights and shapes create a naturally balanced tropical composition.
- Expanded jungle: add a Monstera deliciosa or a Philodendron Congo Red for an indoor jungle with large, graphic leaves.
- Other packs: also discover the Strelitzia + Monstera pack for a different XXL composition.

Verdeia tips
- Regularly clean large leaves — they quickly collect dust. Wiping each leaf with a damp cloth improves photosynthesis and reveals their natural shine.
- Repot every 1-2 years in spring — these fast-growing plants quickly need a bigger pot. Check our repotting guide for the best method.
- Strelitzia can flower after several years — large spectacular white flowers may appear on mature plants under optimal light conditions.

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.
