Baby Plants Alocasia Curly Bambino

Alocasia Curly Bambino – otherwise known as Elephant Ear or African Mask Plant – is a striking houseplant flaunting eye-catching, wavy-edged dark green leaves with cream veining. The tinted leaves are also flushed purple on the underside. The plant is much smaller than other Alocasia varieties and is the perfect option for anyone who may not have the space for a larger houseplant.

As a rainforest native, Alocasia Curly Bambino will benefit from a humid environment and bright, indirect sunlight. It should be turned regularly to allow even growth and avoid leaning. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged by watering little but often.

This houseplant is an excellent choice for any plant lover, as it is relatively easy to care for as long as it is kept in the correct conditions. It would be well suited to a bathroom or kitchen thanks to its miniature size, but it would also look great on a desk or shelf as long as it gets enough light and a good misting regularly.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
