Introducing the Alocasia Infernalis 'Kapit also known as the ‘Purple Elephant Ear’ is darker member of the ‘Jewel’ family of alocasia. The black foliage is actually a deep burgundy/ purple color. The undersides of each leaf is red/burgundy in color. The leaves have a soft foamy feel, and a glossy monochromatic dark effect. The smaller size and dark color allows this plant to thrive in smaller spaces with lower light.
Easy to Care: This Alocasia is a low- maintenance houseplant that loves bright, indirect light and is thirsty for water. While it can handle a few hours of morning sun, it is best to avoid too much direct sunlight to avoid scorching her gorgeous, shiny leaves. If you start to notice drooping or cupping leaves, it is a sign she is thirsty! Keep in mind that these are tropical plants who can go dormant in cooler months – they prefer a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or higher to stay happy!
