Alocasia 'Low Rider' Tropical Houseplant in 4" Container
A plant with presence—without the height. Alocasia ‘Low Rider’ sits close to the earth, like a wise old guardian in the shade of the jungle. Its broad, rippling leaves rise on shorter petioles, giving it a compact, grounded silhouette that fits beautifully in living rooms, dens, and quiet corners where tall plants would overwhelm the space.
The foliage is the star: glossy, deep green, with strong veins that catch light and shadow like folds of sculpted leather. It has a calm, architectural dignity—nothing flimsy or frilly here. Just grounded beauty.
'Low Rider' prefers bright, indirect light, moderate watering, and a touch of humidity. Let the soil dry slightly before you water again. It rewards patience with steady, thoughtful growth, sending out new leaves that unfurl like banners.
This is a plant for people who enjoy the classics: bold form, rich texture, and the steady reassurance of something rooted. Alocasia ‘Low Rider’ doesn’t demand attention. It earns it.
Comes in a 4" container for easy care and maintenance. No green thumb required!
