DESCRIPTION
The Alocasia Melo, also known as Alocasia rugosa, is a stunning plant from the Araceae family, native to the lush rainforests of Borneo in Southeast Asia. This plant is known for its unique, thick, and textured leaves, which add a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor space. The Alocasia Melo thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for well-lit rooms without direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. In the humid climate of Singapore, it should be watered approximately once a week or when the top inch of soil feels dry. It's crucial to ensure the plant has good drainage to avoid waterlogging. This plant prefers high humidity and can be a bit challenging for beginners due to its specific humidity and light requirements. However, its striking appearance makes the extra care worthwhile. It's important to note that Alocasia Melo is not pet-friendly and can be toxic if ingested. With the right care, this captivating plant can be a standout feature in any plant collection, offering both aesthetic appeal and a touch of the exotic.
Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.

Plants
It’s completely normal for plants to experience a bit of stress when they arrive at a new home. This may show as slight wilting or a few yellowing leaves—nothing to worry about! It’s a temporary adjustment period as the plant settles into its new environment, and with the right care, it will quickly bounce back and thrive.
Just like us humans, plants aren’t perfect. They’re living things with their own unique character, and minor imperfections are a natural part of their life. What’s most important—and what we guarantee—is that your plant is healthy and ready to flourish with the proper care.
Just like when you're picking out a plant in person—there's always that moment of, "this one or that one looks nicer?"—each plant has its own unique charm. That's the beauty of nature!
On our end, we make that process easier for you. We work directly with trusted growers to select the best batches, and every plant goes through a 3-step quality check before it gets packed. If a plant doesn’t meet our health standards, we simply don’t send it out.
That’s what you get when shopping with us—healthy, happy plants that are ready to thrive in your space.
We offer free delivery above 99SGD for all orders within Singapore. To select your preferred delivery date, please select date at the cart page.
