This breathtaking and rare tropical treasure originates from the limestone cliffs and rainforests of Borneo Island and belongs to the prestigious \"jewel alocasias\" (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"337\"\u003eJewel Alocasia\u003c\/i\u003e) elite. The plant earned its poetic name \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"385\"\u003e'Reversa'\u003c\/i\u003e thanks to its completely unique, inverted color pattern: unlike most alocasias, which have light veins on a dark background, this variety is the exact opposite. Its firm, thick, arrow-shaped leaves feature a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"631\"\u003eflawless, bright silvery-gray base tone, dramatically highlighted by distinctly dark green, almost black main veins\u003c\/b\u003e and leaf centers. This contrast of colors and shadows gives the leaves a stunning 3D effect and architectural depth. The back of the leaves boasts an elegant, softly greenish tone with purple accents. Currently, it is a nicely grown, strong, and stable \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"995\"\u003e15 cm\u003c\/b\u003e young plant in a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"1011\"\u003e10.5 cm\u003c\/b\u003e pot.

An important natural secret: alocasias grow cyclically and often sacrifice and drop their oldest, smallest leaf to grow a new, larger, and stronger one – this is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Do not repot this plant immediately into a too-large pot – alocasias prefer a compact environment. When you repot it in the future, be sure to use an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"642\"\u003eextremely airy, porous, and loose aroid soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with perlite, coconut chips, and fine orchid bark) so the roots can breathe freely and excess water drains instantly through the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54567285326153,"sku":null,"price":17.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/5103117C-EEA7-477D-84F3-51DAC1E24586.jpg?v=1780942223","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.lv\/en\/products\/alocasia-reversa","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
