About

Alocasia 'Bambino' is a miniature hybrid bred to pack the striking good looks of the Amazonica-type Alocasias into a windowsill-friendly footprint. Its narrow, arrow-shaped leaves are a deep, glossy green with crisp ivory-white primary veins and a wavy, undulating margin. Because it stays compact and clumps readily from offsets, it has become a popular entry point for collectors wanting the dramatic look of jewel Alocasias without the space demands of larger hybrids. It is undemanding by Alocasia standards, tolerating a wider range of home conditions than many of its showier relatives.
