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 tropical XXL plants • 🌴 Upright Strelitzia + broad Alocasia • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌱 Fast growth
This XXL tropical pack brings together two spectacular plants with impressive, complementary foliage — the Strelitzia nicolai with large, structured dark green leaves rising in an elegant fan shape, and the Alocasia macrorrhiza with monumental, glossy green heart-shaped leaves. Native to South Africa and Southeast Asia, these two giants create a majestic indoor urban jungle together. Strelitzia H85 cm + Alocasia H70 cm | Pot Ø19 cm each.
A reliable choice among XXL large plants.
The 2 plants in this pack
This pack combines two tropical XXL plants with highly complementary silhouettes:
- Strelitzia nicolai — large, structured dark green leaves in a vertical fan shape, H85 cm. Adds height and architectural verticality. May produce spectacular white flowers after several years.
- Alocasia macrorrhiza — monumental, glossy green heart-shaped leaves, with a broad, upright form, H70 cm. Adds width and a lush presence.
The Strelitzia adds verticality, while the Alocasia adds width — together, they fill the space in a naturally balanced way.
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 so they can spread out freely. A version with Selin baskets included is also available.
Light & placement
- Ideal light: bright indirect light — the Strelitzia tolerates more light than the Alocasia.
- Avoid: prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the Alocasia's large leaves.
- Space: large living room, spacious entryway, bright office or conservatory — these two XXL plants need room to spread out.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden changes.
Place them offset rather than side by side to create depth and highlight their different heights. Their ideal placement 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, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: pots with drainage holes are essential.
- Humidity: 50-70% recommended — mist occasionally.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants, every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer.
- Cleaning: regularly wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to improve photosynthesis.
Slightly drooping Alocasia leaves indicate thirst — water them and they will quickly perk up. Most problems can be identified quickly with a good diagnosis.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Their spectacular XXL foliage instantly transforms a large space into a majestic urban jungle — a statement arrangement that needs nothing else.
- As a statement duo: placed offset in a living room or entryway, their different heights and silhouettes create a naturally balanced tropical arrangement.
- For a larger jungle: add a Monstera deliciosa or a Philodendron Congo Red for an indoor jungle with highly graphic large leaves.
- Other packs: also discover the Strelitzia + Monstera pack for a different XXL arrangement.
Other large plants complement the indoor jungle.
Verdeia tips
- Clean the large leaves regularly — 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 two fast-growing plants soon need a larger pot. Repotting in spring is sufficient, using a pot only slightly larger.
- The Strelitzia may flower after several years — spectacular large white flowers may appear on mature plants in optimal light conditions.

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.
