Alocasia Tiny Dancer is one of the most charming and unusual Alocasias in existence. Unlike the broad, flat-leafed Alocasias most people know, Tiny Dancer produces small, cupped, t rumpet-shaped leaves on long, gently arching, wispy stems that give the whole plant a playful, almost dancing quality. Each new stem shoots upward at a different angle, creating a constantly shifting, graceful silhouette that no other Alocasia quite replicates.Good for beginners? It requires more attention than beginner plants. Like all Alocasias it prefers warmth, humidity, and consistent moisture. It is very sensitive to cold and should be kept away from drafts at all times.Safe for cats and dogs? Alocasia is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.Light needs: Bright indirect light keeps the leaves most vivid and the growth most vigorous. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the delicate cupped leaves. Insufficient light causes slow, sparse growth.Care at a glance: Keep soil lightly and evenly moist. High humidity is important. Keep above 60°F at all times. Feed monthly in spring and summer. This is a fast grower and can reach up to 20 inches tall with good care.Ships fresh from one of our two greenhouse locations in a nursery pot. Covered by our 30-Day Plant Guarantee.
