Description

The Alocasia Nebula Silver Compacta looks like it escaped from a science fiction film. Its silver-grey leaves shimmer with a subtle metallic sheen, outlined by dark veins that give it a dramatic and mysterious presence. This compact version of the Nebula is perfect for smaller spaces, without compromising on visual impact.

Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, this plant is used to warm, humid conditions. Indoors, it grows into an elegant figure of around 30 cm tall, with foliage that resembles a piece of art. The leaves are firm, heart-shaped, and have an almost leathery texture.

The Nebula Silver Compacta is a favorite among plant collectors and design lovers. It fits beautifully into modern interiors, minimalist settings, or as a striking contrast in a botanical mix. A plant that doesn’t shout, but whispers: “Look at me.”

Care tips

This Nebula loves bright, indirect light. A spot near an east- or north-facing window is ideal. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little light slows its growth. It thrives best with 6–8 hours of filtered daylight per day.

When it comes to water: it has moderate needs but is sensitive to soggy roots. Let the top centimeter of soil dry out between waterings. Use a breathable potting mix with perlite and ensure good drainage. In winter, you can reduce watering slightly, especially if it enters dormancy.

The Nebula adores high humidity. Mist it regularly or place it near a humidifier. It’s mildly toxic, so keep it out of reach of pets. During the growing season, feed it every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer. With the right care, it will remain a radiant 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.
