Plant Description
Alocasia Wentii Pink Splash: Rare Low-Light Tropical Houseplant
The Alocasia Wentii Pink Splash carries richly coloured foliage, with deep reddish-green tops and bronzed pink undersides that glow when backlit. It offers dramatic impact without demanding conditions.
Why Collectors Prize Alocasia Wentii Pink Splash
This rare Alocasia cultivar stands apart for the splash of dark pink on the leaf undersides, which marks it out in any tropical plant collection. Each leaf reflects warm, glowing tones, giving the colour and texture that serious collectors look for.
An Accommodating Collector's Plant
Unlike many demanding Alocasia cultivars, the Pink Splash is more forgiving in lower light, which makes it a practical choice for a wider range of indoor positions. It combines an exotic look with manageable care, suiting collectors who want something uncommon without the high-maintenance demands of other rare cultivars.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
