Tropical plants in the Alocasia genus feature stunning foliage that can become the centerpiece of a garden or room. In the right conditions, they can grow very fast, but they are also sensitive plants.
Alocasia grows well in containers; they can thrive outdoors in the summertime and then b.e brought indoors to overwinter. Some species are considered invasive, especially along the gulf coast of the United States
