About

Alocasia peltata 'Flypaper' is a highly distinct clumping jewel Alocasia cultivar select. Its name derives from the extreme glossy, mirror-like finish of its foliage, which reflects light as if it were coated in wet adhesive or sticky flypaper. The leaves are peltate and oval-lanceolate, showing a very dark olive-green to near-black coloration. This dark base is elegantly accented by fine, pale silver-green primary veins, with deep purple-red undersides.
