Alocasia Amazonica ‘Bambino’

Size: 4-inch Grower Pot

Often called the "Jeweled Alocasia," the Alocasia Bambino is the perfect miniature version of the classic Alocasia Polly. This compact cultivar stays small and manageable, making it an ideal choice for shelves, desks, or terrariums where space is at a premium but high-impact style is a must.

Visual Appeal

The Bambino is famous for its striking, arrow-shaped leaves that feature a deep, dark green (almost black) surface. These glossy blades are accented by bold, neon-white veins that create a dramatic skeletal pattern. The underside of each leaf is a stunning deep purple, providing a beautiful pop of color from every angle.

Key Features

• Petite Powerhouse: Unlike its larger Alocasia cousins, the Bambino maintains a compact footprint, usually reaching only about 12 inches in height.
• High-Contrast Foliage: The stark white-on-dark-green veins make it one of the most visually graphic plants in the aroid family.
• Vertical Texture: Its stiff, upright stems and glossy texture give it a sophisticated, sculptural look.

Quick Care Guide

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Protect the leaves from direct afternoon sun, which can cause the delicate foliage to burn.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. This plant prefers to be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Humidity: Tropical at heart, the Bambino loves high humidity. Mist it frequently, use a pebble tray, or place it near a humidifier to keep the leaf edges crisp and green.
• Pet Safety: Note: Alocasia are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep this specimen out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
