Alocasia Amazonica (6")

Alocasia Amazonica | 6” Pot
A Striking Statement with Southern Soul

Here at Wrights Market, nestled in our cozy 1938 cottage where family gathers around stories and sweet tea, we believe every plant has a story—and the Alocasia Amazonica is no exception. Known affectionately as the “African Mask” or “Elephant Ear,” this bold beauty brings a touch of tropical drama balanced with timeless charm, perfect for adding character to your home with a little Southern flair.

Though often called Amazonica, this stunning plant is actually a hybrid of Alocasia species native to the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia. Its glossy, deep green leaves are etched with striking white veins that look like delicate brush strokes—reminding us that beauty often comes from contrast and resilience.

In the language of plants, the Alocasia symbolizes strength, protection, and beauty—making it a thoughtful gift or centerpiece that feels like a natural guardian in your home.

While the Alocasia Amazonica may occasionally bloom indoors, producing a subtle, lily-like flower, it’s the bold foliage that truly steals the show. This plant prefers bright, indirect light, steady warmth, and humidity—much like a gentle Southern afternoon.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; let the top inch dry slightly between waterings

• Humidity: Loves higher humidity—consider a humidifier or misting for best growth

• Soil: Well-draining, rich potting mix

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets and children

Perfect Plant Partners:

• Calathea – for a lush, textured, and colorful indoor jungle feel

• Philodendron – softens the boldness with trailing or heart-shaped leaves

• Ferns – add a soft, feathery contrast that echoes Southern garden charm

Place your Alocasia Amazonica near a window that catches gentle light or let her stand proud as a statement piece in your living room or sunroom. She’s more than a plant—she’s a symbol of family strength, a touch of kindness, and a whole lot of Southern grace.

From our home at Wrights Market to yours, may she grow strong, shine bright, and bring a little tropical magic to your everyday.
