    Alocasia rugosa is a highly sought-after jewel Alocasia prized for its unique, sculptural foliage. The plant is native to Sabah, Malaysia, where it grows on ultramafic soils . In the houseplant trade, it is often labeled as "Alocasia rugosa" due to its extremely textured, rugose (wrinkled or bumpy) leaves.

    Description

    • Leaves: The most distinctive feature is its thick, leathery, jade green to greenish-blue leaves with a deeply textured, almost artificial or sculpted appearance. The surface is rough and bumpy, giving rise to the name "rugosa" (meaning wrinkled).
    • Growth Habit: Compact and terrestrial, making it ideal for small spaces or as a statement piece in indoor collections .
    • Common Names: Alocasia Melo, Alocasia ‘Rhino Skin’, and sometimes incorrectly as Alocasia ‘Mythic Dragonite’ .

    Care Requirements

    • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light indoors; can tolerate part sun to shade outdoors.
    • Water: Prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil. Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.
    • Humidity: High humidity is beneficial, mimicking its tropical origins.
    • Temperature: Prefers warm conditions and should be protected from cold drafts.
