The plant, which arrived in three days, is full, healthy, beautiful, and pest-free. A couple of leaves were broken and the pot was damaged. That was not the fault of the sellers, however, but of Fed Ex, who delivered the box upside down despite the fact that it was clearly marked. I’m very happy with my purchase.
UPDATE: As others have said, the plant appeared fine when it arrived but then quickly began dying. It turned out to be seriously rootbound and waterlogged. I have repotted it and put in in a spot that is ideal for its light requirements. I hope it will thrive, but much of its beauty is diminished because of all the dead leaves I had to cut away. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Nature's Way FarmsOur Rare Plant Collection has been carefully crafted and hand-selected by experts from our sources around the world. These rare plants are available to avid plant collectors and the "plant curious" alike. These unusual varieties are grown using quality practices to ensure healthy, mature plants. |
Care InstructionsThis plant needs to be kept consistently moist, but not wet. They should be allowed to retain a small amount of moisture at all times. That said you need to be careful that it does not dry rot. Using a liquid fertilizer, which contains a more or less equal ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium will work best. Fertilize about once every 6 weeks in the growing season (spring and summer) and once every 8-12 weeks in the autumn and winter. |
Alocasia DawnAlocasia Dawn (U.S. Patent Pending NO. 17323485) is a unique plant from the Rare Plant Collection cultivated by Nature’s Way Farms. This plant is a RARE variety grown using the strict quality standards. This striking evergreen plant has large, marbled green and white heart-shaped leaves that are sure to be the focal point of any plant collection. |
Caring for your Alocasia Dawn
|

|
|
|---|---|---|
Space and LocationThe Alocasia Dawn is a tall and widely spreading plant, your will need ample space to grow. Fully grown, they can be as tall as 1.6m and almost as wide. They are slow growers so don't worry you have time! Just make sure it has enough space around it to get enough light and air circulation and that other plants do not crowd it. These plants are of tropical nature which makes them very sensitive to colder environments and they start to suffer below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm, summery temperatures suit them best and help them thrive. |
Light RequirementsAlocasia Dawn is large, upright plant that does well indoors as well as covered patios provided the necessary conditions are right. They do best in bright, indirect light. Do not place them in direct sunlight. The light needs to be bright but indirect or if indoors, filtered through a curtain or shade cloth to prevent leaves from scorching and burning. |
Re Potting your PlantAlocasias do not need too much space for their roots to spread. They will do well in a pot that is a snug fit for the root ball. The container must drain well and be a suitable size and weight to support the plant’s height and width, without toppling over. The ideal potting soil is a 5:1:1 mix made by mixing 5-parts bark, 1-part potting soil or peat moss, and 1-part perlite. This creates a light, airy, well-draining mixture that still retains some moisture for slow release. |

Easiest to grow alocasia I have!!!
This alocasia grows like no other! The corms even sprouted quicker than any I’ve had….i honestly don’t understand any bad reviews on this alocasia. It’s stunning! The leaves do have some yellow but a lot of white ones pop up as long as it gets good light… actually the corms had many white leaves even with lower light. I even had some corms start to rot, so I placed them on top of perlite/stratum and they STILL ROOTED and leaves popped out. Then I was able to bury them because the rotted parts had calloused. Some people just don’t know how to care for alocasias, it’s a plant that takes much research but it’s so worth the work, these plants are so much fun! I convert all mine to semi hydro because they love it and thrive. I don’t like soil at all. I use a mix of lechuza pon, perlite, & fluval stratum. You wanna have thriving alocasias? Look into this.

In the past I have purchased many plants from many online sources and have had a lot of plants shipped. From the point of ordering to unboxing this was a pleasant experience. Considering this is a truly rare Alocasia, it was an extremely reasonable price. The plant is very healthy and full too. My only complaint is either it lost soil somewhere or maybe doesn’t require as much. I guess I’ll be researching the plant more.
