Elegant, bold, and richly coloured, Alocasia longiloba ‘Purple’ is a striking tropical houseplant admired for its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves and dramatic colour contrast. The deep green upper foliage is beautifully offset by rich purple undersides, creating depth and movement as the leaves shift and catch the light throughout the day. It is one of my most popular Alocasias and its easy to see why.
This variety offers a refined, architectural look that feels timeless. As the plant matures, the colour contrast becomes even more pronounced.
Large well-rooted with good growth and strong colour. This is a plant that settles quickly into its new environment and continues to reward with steady growth in the right conditions.

🌿 How I’ve Cared for it.
Every plant parent has their own rhythm, and your new leafy mate will slowly adjust to yours. But here’s how I’ve kept her thriving here with me.
✅ Watered with rainwater. You can use filtered water too. These plants are sensitive to overwatering—go easy, me lover. I mist with a humidifier.
✅ Feed when water with Sillica Force, Superthrive Foliage Pro, Cal-Mag, & hydrogen peroxide.
✅ Healthy established plant full of life with decent roots 🌱
💧Water when the pot indicates its needed don't be tempted to over water they don’t like soggy roots & will start to rot.
🦟 All my plants are protected using a regular misting routine of SB Plant Invigorator and silica weekly alongside nematodes - prevention is always better than cure. If you can keep this up. Also a simple shower every now and then is great it removes dust and pests
☀️ Thrives best in bright, indirect light – think near a north or east-facing window with dappled sunlight. Keep the balance right, and this leafy character will reward you with steady, vibrant growth. I have found that the use of Silica Force helps with maintaining larger patches of variegated leaf. It makes a big difference its worth adding to your routine.
