🌿 Deeply lobed foliage • 🎨 Unique embossed texture • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 📏 H30 cm | Pot Ø12 cm
The Alocasia Jacklyn, also known as Elephant's Ear, stands out from all other Alocasias with its deeply lobed foliage and highly pronounced veins — each leaf features deep cuts and an embossed texture that give it a sculptural look rarely found in other tropical species in a compact pot. Pair it with other Alocasias.
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, it naturally grows in humid, shady undergrowth. Each variety of Alocasia has its own size and requirements.
Light & placement
Alocasia Jacklyn needs bright indirect light to maintain the depth of its lobes and the vibrancy of its dark green foliage. In partial shade, growth slows and the foliage loses its vigor.
- Light: bright indirect light — a window without direct sun.
- Ideal for: office, shelf, bright living room, well-lit bedroom.
- Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, protected from drafts and sudden fluctuations.
- Substrate: light, airy, and well-draining — universal potting soil amended 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 and summer, and once every two weeks in winter.
- Drainage: essential — a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: enjoys a humid atmosphere (60–70 %) — mist regularly or group plants together.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, using diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Cleaning: gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to preserve the embossed texture.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its deeply cut foliage creates a strong contrast with plants with smooth leaves — this opposition of textures is what makes a composition with Alocasia Jacklyn so appealing.
- Pair with: a Calathea medallion with broad, smooth leaves — the contrast between Calathea's marbled, uniform foliage and Alocasia's deep lobes creates an immediately striking textured composition.
- In an Alocasia collection: pair it with an Alocasia Zebrina with spectacular striped stems — the same genus, two completely different personalities.
- Decorative pot: a matte white or gray ceramic pot lets the sculptural foliage take center stage without competing with it — avoid overly decorative pots that compete visually with the lobes.
Verdeia tips
- Humidity first: Alocasia Jacklyn is more sensitive to a lack of ambient humidity than to a lack of watering — mist the foliage 2 to 3 times a week or place it on a bed of damp clay pebbles.
- Avoid drafts: even warm drafts quickly dry out the foliage and cause the leaf edges to turn yellow — keep it away from open windows and fans.
- Normal winter dormancy: if a leaf turns yellow and dies in winter, don't panic — the Alocasia enters semi-dormancy and may lose a few 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.
