Alocasia ‘Loco’ was introduced by Deroose Plants in Florida and first appeared at the Tropical Plant International Expo in 2010. Believed to be a hybrid of A. sanderiana and A. longiloba ‘Watsoniana’, likely arising as a mutation of Alocasia ‘Mandalay’ (itself linked to ‘Polly’), it largely disappeared from cultivation before being reintroduced through tissue culture in 2023. It forms a compact plant with triangular leaves, ruffled margins, and sharp white veining over deep green. The combination of its undulating edges and silvery venation gives it a distinct look compared to smoother jewel types, while its smaller size makes it well suited to tighter growing spaces.
Alocasia grow new leaves and drop older leaves more frequently than other plants.
