Description

The Alocasia Bambino Arrow is a miniature version of the well-known Alocasia Amazonica, but with a refined flair of its own. Its arrow-shaped leaves are deep green with silvery veins and a glossy finish, making it look like a tropical piece of art. The leaves are narrower and more elegant than those of its larger sisters, giving it a graceful and modern appearance.

With a maximum height of around 30–40 cm, the Bambino Arrow is ideal for smaller spaces like windowsills, desks, or plant stands. It’s perfect for terrariums or under a glass dome, where its compact shape and striking leaf pattern can truly shine. A slice of jungle in mini format — stylish and space-saving.

Despite its modest size, it’s a true eye-catcher. Loved by plant collectors and design enthusiasts for its graphic leaf structure and elegant growth habit. Combine it with other Alocasias for a botanical corner, or let it shine solo in a minimalist interior.

Care tips

The Bambino Arrow loves bright, indirect light. Place it near an east- or north-facing window, where it gets enough light without direct sun exposure. Too much sun can scorch its leaves, while too little light may slow growth and fade leaf color. It also thrives in a terrarium or under a dome with filtered light.

As for water: it has moderate needs. Keep the soil lightly moist, but let the top layer dry out between waterings. Use room-temperature water and ensure a breathable potting mix with perlite and coconut fiber. In winter, you can reduce watering slightly, especially if it enters dormancy.

The Bambino Arrow adores high humidity — 60% or more is ideal. Mist it regularly or place it on a tray with water and clay pebbles. It’s mildly toxic, so keep it out of reach of pets. During the growing season, you can feed it every four weeks with a foliage plant fertilizer. With the right care, it will remain a compact star in your plant family for years to come.

Alocasia: krachtig en karaktervol

De Alocasia is een plantensoort met opvallende bladeren — van hartvormig tot puntig en gestructureerd. Sommige soorten doen denken aan olifantsoren, vandaar de bijnaam. Andere hebben juist een meer uitgesproken nerfpatroon of metallic glans. Ze houdt van licht en een beetje vocht, en groeit snel als ze zich thuis voelt. Deze plant heeft een krachtige uitstraling en past goed in ruime, lichte interieurs. Alocasia is een echte groeier — soms zelfs met nieuwe babyplantjes aan de voet. Bij Floraholic vind je Alocasia’s die niet alleen mooi zijn, maar ook sterk en gezond. Een plant met presence en flair.
