Alocasia Suhirmaniana – Rare Sulawesi Collector Alocasia

Alocasia suhirmaniana is a striking tropical foliage plant from Sulawesi, Indonesia, prized for its dramatic shield-shaped leaves, glossy dark green colouring and contrasting pale venation. The deep purple tones beneath the foliage add another layer of interest, making this distinctive Alocasia an excellent choice for collectors looking for a less commonly encountered species.

Why You’ll Love It ✔️

✔️ Striking Foliage – Glossy dark green leaves with prominent pale veins and rich purple undersides create impressive contrast.

✔️ Tropical Growing Appeal – A beautiful upright Alocasia that thrives in warm, humid conditions and makes a commanding indoor feature plant.

✔️ Collector Species – A genuine species Alocasia native to Sulawesi, offering something different from the more commonly available cultivated hybrids and varieties.

Care Tips

🌞 Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Protect from harsh direct afternoon sun, which may scorch the foliage.

💧 Water: Water when the upper layer of potting mix begins to dry. Keep moderately moist during active growth while avoiding constantly saturated conditions.

💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. A humidifier can be beneficial in dry indoor environments.

🌡 Temperature: Ideally 18–30°C. Protect from cold temperatures, sudden temperature changes and cool drafts.

🌱 Soil: Grow in a loose, well-draining mix containing coco coir, coco chip & perlite to provide both moisture retention and good root aeration.

🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. A balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied occasionally during active growth.

🚫 Toxicity: Alocasia species contain insoluble calcium oxalates and are considered toxic if chewed or ingested by pets or children. Keep out of reach.

Add this distinctive Sulawesi species to your collection for bold foliage with genuine collector appeal.

Pot Size: 75mm

We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦

Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.

As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape

If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.

For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box

Not a common review for Uprooted

Firstly, I love shopping with Uprooted. And I still do. Plants are good. Packaging is amazing. But this alocasia is an exception. The plant came pretty small, with 3 limp leaves and 2 good ones. Thought give it a few days and they'll be OK. But nah, all 3 leaves are going off now. Very sad item : (

Hi Steven,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review—and especially for your continued support of Uprooted. We truly appreciate you, and we’re really sorry to hear that this particular Alocasia Suhirmaniana didn’t meet expectations.

Alocasias can be a little tricky, especially during the cooler months. In your area, the recent drop in overnight temperatures can really impact their health—limp or fading leaves are often a sign the plant is entering dormancy or reacting to stress from the cold. This species in particular loves warmth and humidity, so during winter it can be helpful to keep it in a warmer spot indoors, away from cold draughts, and consider adding a grow light or heat mat to help it push through until the weather warms up. You could also let it dry out completely and enter its winter dormancy, once the weather improves you can start to water it again and bring it out of its winter slumber.

You’re always welcome to reach out to us directly if you ever have concerns or want help getting a plant back on track—we're here to help however we can.

Thanks again for the feedback, and for continuing to support what we do
