Alocasia 'Tiny Dancer'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness The Alocasia 'Tiny Dancer' is a unique, compact hybrid cultivar within the genus Alocasia, commonly known as Elephant Ear. Its defining characteristic is its graceful, slender, and arching stems topped with small, cup-shaped, upward-facing leaves. The foliage is a glossy emerald green, creating an effect that truly resembles tiny dancers poised in mid-twirl, a feature that distinguishes it from other broad-leafed Alocasias. The Alocasia 'Tiny Dancer' grows fast during the active growing season (spring and summer), given ideal conditions. This plant is very sensitive to the cold. It prefers bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy. Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering deeply. A rich, well-draining, and airy potting mix is essential. This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer. USDA Zone 10-11 USDA Zone 9b: to -
