About

Alocasia cucullata, commonly known as Buddha's Hand or Chinese Taro, is a highly respected species traditionally grown in Buddhist temples across Asia. It features broadly ovate-cordate, heart-shaped leaves that are highly glossy and bright green. The leaf margins are slightly wavy, and the pointed tips curve gracefully downwards. Slender green petioles support the dense clumping foliage, which arises from thick upright stems.
