Alocasia 'Melo' is a rare compact, tropical houseplant known for its thick, textured, jade-green to bluish-green leaves with prominent veining, often resembling a living sculpture. The jade green to greenish-blue leaves of this plant grow on erect terrestrial petioles. These leaves are thick enough to look like cardboard and confuse you with an artificial plant. Native to Asian Island Borneo, it thrives in high humidity, bright indirect light, and consistently moist, well-draining soil. It is toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
