Frequently asked questions
Which decorative pot should I choose for the artificial Alocasia? It is delivered in a Ø12 cm nursery pot: a Ø14 cm decorative pot holds it easily, such as the Elho B.for Soft Anthracite decorative pot or the Elho Jazz Round decorative pot in amber yellow.
How do you clean an artificial Alocasia? A feather duster or soft cloth removes the dust; for a deeper clean, wipe the leaves with a slightly damp cloth.

🌿 Large arrow-shaped leaves with light veins • 📏 H80 cm, 70 cm spread • 🌱 Long speckled stems • 🌑 No light or watering needed • 🐾 Non-toxic to pets • ✨ Green all year round
The artificial Alocasia captures the look of the elephant ear: long upright stems, speckled with green and brown, rise from the pot and carry large arrow-shaped leaves in a medium green, with wavy edges and well-defined light green veins. These contrasting veins and speckled stems give it a realistic look, even up close.
Standing 80 cm tall with a spread of about 70 cm, it opens its leaves in a crown above the pot. Among our artificial plants, it is one of the most exotic, and it keeps its leaves and colour all year round, whether in a dark room or an air-conditioned office.
Artificial or real Alocasia?
The artificial Alocasia brings the large arrow-shaped leaves of the elephant ear to places where a real alocasia would lack light or humidity: windowless bathroom, dark hallway, office far from the windows, holiday home. It also keeps all its leaves in winter, when a living alocasia slows its growth and may lose some of them.
If your room gets bright indirect light and you enjoy watching a plant grow, our living alocasias remain a safe bet. In large sizes, from 70 to 90 cm: the Alocasia zebrina, with yellow-green and black-purple striped stems, the Alocasia wentii, with bronze-green foliage and purple undersides, the Alocasia cucullata, with glossy green heart-shaped leaves, the Alocasia Gageana California, with very large embossed leaves, and the Alocasia Regal Shield, with dark green shield-shaped leaves and purple undersides. In compact sizes, from 25 to 45 cm: the Alocasia Polly, with dark green arrow-shaped leaves and silver-white veins, the Alocasia Jacklyn, with lobed, embossed foliage, the Alocasia Silver Dragon, with silvery foliage, and the Alocasia Red Secret, with purple-red undersides. You'll find them in our Alocasia selection.
Where to place it?
As it needs no light, it can go wherever it makes the most impact, even far from a window.
- Dark rooms: hallway, entryway, windowless bathroom, corner far from the windows.
- Workspaces: office, waiting room, reception, shop window.
- Living spaces: living room, bedroom, dining room, next to a sofa or a bookcase.
- Space needed: about 70 cm wide, so the leaves can open freely without touching a wall or a piece of furniture.
- Avoid: prolonged direct sun behind glass, which fades the colours over time, and placing it right next to a radiator.
It is designed for indoor use: on a balcony or terrace, sun and rain would damage its leaves.
Setting up & care
When it arrives, take a few minutes to give it its final shape: that's what makes the difference between a stiff artificial plant and an alocasia that looks alive.
- Shaping: spread the stems slightly apart from the base and turn the leaves in several directions, at different heights.
- Dusting: a quick pass with a feather duster or soft cloth from time to time.
- Cleaning: a slightly damp cloth over the leaves, then a dry cloth.
- Over time: it lasts from one year to the next, with no repotting or fertiliser.
Tilt the leaves slightly in relation to one another rather than leaving them all flat, as on a real alocasia: the result instantly looks more natural.
Decor ideas & pairings
Its large arrow-shaped leaves add a tropical touch, and it lends itself to arrangements, colors, and textures just like a real plant.
- For a contemporary finish, slip the pot into the Elho B.for Soft Anthracite decorative pot in Ø14 cm — the matt anthracite brings out the green of the leaves and the light pattern of the veins.
- For a touch of colour, dress it in the Elho Jazz Round decorative pot in amber yellow in Ø14 cm — its warm shade warms up the green of the foliage.
- For a contrast of foliage, place our artificial Zamioculcas, our artificial Polyscias, our artificial Philodendron selloum, our artificial red philodendron, our artificial Pachira, our artificial Kentia, our artificial Magnolia grandiflora, our artificial Dracaena reflexa, our artificial eucalyptus, our artificial Monstera deliciosa or our artificial Ficus lyrata next to it — their glossy leaflets, their round, split, bronze or palmate leaves, their light fronds and their large smooth, striped, grey-green, perforated or fiddle-shaped leaves echo the large arrow-shaped leaves of the alocasia.
In front of a white wall or a neutral background, the pattern of the arrow-shaped leaves and their light veins stands out clearly and gives the room structure.
Verdeia tips
- Hide the nursery pot: slipped into a decorative pot from our selection of pots and decorative pots, it instantly looks like a real plant.
- Add a top layer: a few clay pebbles or a little moss on top of the pot complete the illusion.
- Create a green corner: explore our full range of artificial plants and flowers to combine different foliage and different heights.

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?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
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 should I 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.
