Alocasia perakensis ‘Silver Giant’

The distribution of the Perakensis species extends from Thailand to the Malaysian peninsula. It was only in 2021/2022 that Perak alocase was tissue-cultured to give us the ‘Silver Giant’ selection. As the cultivar’s name suggests, the decorative foliage of this very hardy alocase is made up of superb, rather leathery silver leaves textured with green accents. The leaves have an almost metallic sheen. Always remember that alocase leaf colors become more defined with age. The plant can reach 60 to 75 cm in height.
