About Alocasia nebula

Alocasia nebula is a compact terrestrial aroid native to the humid lowland rainforests of Sarawak, Borneo. Its thick, bullate leaves have a metallic, silvery sheen contrasted by deep green, sunken venation. Unlike the related Alocasia cuprea or baginda, this species is defined by its uniform pewter coloration and sturdy, compact growth habit. It grows in the shaded, moisture-rich understory of its native habitat.

Native Range

Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo
