It belongs to the exclusive \"jewel alocasias\" (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"245\"\u003eJewel Alocasia\u003c\/i\u003e) group and fully lives up to its name (translated as \"Green Carpet\"). This variety stands out with its thick, firm, and compact leaves that have a unique, distinctly bumpy and deeply textured three-dimensional (3D) relief. The leaf surface is a juicy, dark green tone with a mysterious, matte sheen that literally resembles an expensive, velvety moss carpet. Meanwhile, the underside of the leaves hides an elegant, lighter, and structured venation. This plant looks so flawless and sculptural, as if carefully carved from a gemstone! Currently, it is a small young plant, but it is an air-purifying \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"848\"\u003ehouseplant\u003c\/b\u003e that will add a luxury-class, modern, and very tasteful tropical accent to any \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"871\"\u003einterior\u003c\/b\u003e.

It is important to know nature’s secrets: alocasias grow cyclically, and to develop a new, larger, and stronger leaf, they very often sacrifice and drop their older, smaller leaf (which naturally turns yellow and dries out) – there is no need to worry about this; it is a completely normal process. Do not repot this plant immediately into a too large pot – this species prefers its roots to have a relatively compact environment. When you repot it in the future, be sure to use an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"720\"\u003eextremely airy, loose aroid soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with dry orchid bark, coconut chips, and perlite) 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":54523395375433,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_aab805ca-a353-4c8f-9550-df4f5c4a60b3.heic?v=1780380842","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.lv\/en\/products\/alocasia-sulawesi-green-carpet","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
