Frequently asked questions
Why are the leaves of my Alocasia turning yellow? Yellowing of the lower leaves is a natural process — Alocasia constantly renews its foliage. If it is widespread, check the watering (too much or too little), light, and ambient humidity. Remove yellowed leaves cleanly at the base.
Are the Selin baskets waterproof? No — the Selin baskets made of natural fiber are not waterproof. Place a saucer inside each basket before putting the pot in to catch excess water and protect your floor.

🌿 2 Alocasia with complementary foliage • 🪴 2 natural Selin baskets included • 🎨 Bright green + dark green with purple underside • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌺 Ready to install
This Alocasia pack brings together two varieties of elephant ears with complementary foliage — Alocasia cucullata with large, bright green heart-shaped leaves and Alocasia wentii with dark green leaves and a spectacular purple underside. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, both plants are delivered in their included Selin baskets made of natural fiber — a tropical duo ready to install. H60 cm | Pot Ø19 cm per plant.
A reliable choice for an indoor jungle.
The 2 varieties in this pack
This pack combines two Alocasia varieties with distinct and complementary visual characteristics:
- Alocasia cucullata — large, heart-shaped, bright green leaves with an elegant upright growth habit. The brighter and fresher of the duo.
- Alocasia wentii — dark green leaves with a spectacular purple underside, creating a unique color contrast. The deeper and more contrasting of the duo.
Cucullata adds brightness, while Wentii brings depth — together they form a naturally balanced arrangement.
What's included
- 1 Alocasia cucullata — Ø19 cm — H60 cm
- 1 Alocasia wentii — Ø19 cm — H60 cm
- 2 Selin baskets made of natural fiber — suitable for Ø19 cm pots
The Selin baskets add a natural and bohemian touch — the arrangement is ready to place with no additional purchase. The Selin baskets are also available separately among the accessories.
Exposure & placement
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade.
- To avoid: direct sun, which burns the leaves and dulls the purple underside of the Wentii.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden fluctuations.
- Humidity: 60-80% recommended - mist regularly.
Place the two plants side by side or slightly offset to create a sense of botanical depth. Its ideal location depends on the balance between light and humidity.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular — keep the substrate slightly moist without waterlogging it.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring and summer, less often in winter.
- Drainage: pots with drainage holes are essential - empty the baskets after watering.
- Humidity: mist the leaves regularly.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants, every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer.
Slightly drooping leaves indicate that the plant is thirsty — water it and they will quickly perk up. Most problems can be identified quickly with a good diagnosis.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Their spectacular foliage and natural Selin baskets instantly create a lush, bohemian urban jungle atmosphere.
- As a statement duo: placed side by side in a living room or entryway, they instantly create a tropical focal point - two imposing silhouettes with very distinct foliage.
- In an expanded arrangement: add a Monstera deliciosa or a Strelitzia nicolai for an indoor jungle with large, highly graphic leaves.
- Other Alocasia packs: also discover the Cucullata + Lauterbachiana pack for an even more architectural composition.
A reliable choice among large XXL plants.
Verdeia tips
- High humidity is essential — mist the leaves regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Air that is too dry causes brown edges on the leaves of both varieties.
- Older leaves naturally turn yellow — this is normal. Cut them cleanly at the base to maintain vigorous growth. Repotting is part of seasonal care.
- Non-waterproof baskets — insert a saucer inside each basket to collect excess water and protect your floor.

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.
