Alocasia ‘Portodora’

A bold and imposing structural plant, with huge scallop-edged, emerald-green leaves, each emerging from sturdy stalks. ‘Portodora’ originates from South East Asia and in the right environment, it holds its form well and its leaves won’t flop. It looks fabulous in the corner of a sitting room or hall, where it will add a touch of the exotic in your home!

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Dormancy is a natural process, triggered by a reduction in light, cooler temperatures, and drier air and soil mimicking the seasonal changes in the plant’s natural environment. If the plant is beginning to enter a dormant period by shedding leaves or discolouring and dying back then reduce watering, light and maintain cooler conditions. The corm or bulb should only be watered lightly when the top inch of soil has become dry. The plant will regrow when warm, bright, moist conditions return.
