Description

The Alocasia Wentii, also known as Elephant Ear, is a tropical houseplant that makes an instant impression. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are dark green on top with a mysterious reddish-purple underside — a color combination that gives it a powerful and elegant presence. This plant is not only a visual showpiece but also a mood-setter, bringing calm and jungle vibes into any space.

Originally from the rainforests of Southeast Asia, the Wentii is used to warm, humid conditions. In nature, its leaves are even used as natural umbrellas during tropical downpours. Indoors, it grows into an impressive plant reaching up to a meter tall, with sturdy stems and a fan-shaped leaf structure that gives it architectural character.

Despite its tropical roots, it’s surprisingly approachable. It requires some attention but isn’t demanding. Give it a spot with sufficient light, a touch of humidity, and regular watering, and it will reward you with vigorous growth and ever-larger leaves. An ideal plant for those who love botanical grandeur with a bold edge.

Care tips

Wentii prefers partial shade to indirect light. Place it near an east- or west-facing window, where it gets enough light without direct sun. Too much sun can scorch its leaves, while too little light leads to leggy growth. If you notice the leaves stretching toward the light, it’s likely too dark.

As for watering: it has moderate to high needs. Keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid soggy roots. Let the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. In summer, weekly watering is ideal; in winter, a bit less. Use a breathable potting mix with perlite and bark for optimal drainage.

Wentii thrives in high humidity. Mist it regularly or place it near a humidifier. During the growing season, feed it monthly with a tropical plant fertilizer. It’s mildly toxic, so keep it out of reach of pets. With a little care, it will grow into an impressive green giant that enriches any space.

Alocasia plant

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.
