Alocasia tandurusa 'Jacklyn'

alocasia jacklyn

Also known as: Jacklyn Alocasia, Sulawesi Alocasia, Deer Antler Alocasia

Native to the tropical forests of northern Sulawesi, Indonesia, Alocasia Jacklyn is one of the newest and most sought-after plants in the collector's world. Its local name "Tandurusa" means "deer antlers" in Indonesian — a perfect description of its deeply lobed, dramatically pointed leaves that fan out like a work of natural art. Its vivid green leaves with contrasting dark veins and striped stems make it completely unlike any other Alocasia you'll ever grow. A true conversation starter that brings serious tropical drama to any indoor space

  • size

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts. Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Clean the leaves regularly to keep them looking their best and allow the plant to thrive. During winter, move it somewhere warm and bright while reducing watering until it starts growing again in spring.
