Alocasia Hilo Beauty Dark Green (6")

Alocasia Hilo Beauty Dark Green | 6” Pot
A Bold Beauty with Southern Grace and Quiet Strength

At Wrights Market, nestled in our charming 1938 cottage where family ties run deep and kindness is as common as magnolias in bloom, the Alocasia Hilo Beauty Dark Green is a plant that speaks softly but carries a strong presence. Known for its striking, dark green leaves with contrasting white veins, this tropical treasure brings a touch of the exotic while fitting seamlessly into a Southern home’s cozy corners.

Originating from the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, the Alocasia Hilo Beauty is a hybrid celebrated for its large, arrow-shaped foliage that boasts dramatic textures and rich colors. Though it’s called “Hilo Beauty,” named after the Hawaiian town where it was first cultivated, its roots remind us of warm, nurturing places where nature thrives—much like the spirit of our community here at Wrights Market.

Symbolically, the Alocasia represents strength, protection, and endurance—qualities that resonate with our values of family and love. While it rarely blooms indoors, the beauty of its leaves alone makes it a standout.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to keep leaves vibrant and healthy

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; allow the top inch to dry between waterings

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity—ideal for misting or a humidifier nearby

• Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and children—best placed where curious hands and paws can’t reach

Companion Plants to Love:

• Calathea – for soft, patterned foliage that complements the boldness

• Philodendron ‘Birkin’ – adds texture with its striped leaves

• Ferns (like Maidenhair or Boston) – bring light, airy contrast and a Southern garden feel

Whether gracing your living room, brightening a sunroom, or adding a touch of lush elegance to your porch, the Alocasia Hilo Beauty Dark Green brings a quiet kind of beauty and strength to your home—a living reminder that kindness and resilience grow best when nurtured with love.

From our family at Wrights Market to yours, may this striking beauty fill your space with grace, warmth, and the gentle spirit of Southern living.
