Melo - Growers Choice

🌿 Alocasia ‘Melo’ (Jewel Alocasia)

Textured perfection. Earthy elegance. A true collector’s gem.

The Alocasia ‘Melo’ is a rare jewel species treasured for its thick, heavily textured leaves and cool, slate-green color that gives it an almost sculptural presence. Native to Borneo, this compact Alocasia stands out for its rugged, leathery surface — a striking contrast to the smooth, glossy foliage of other tropicals.

With its deeply veined, stone-like appearance, Melo feels more like living art than a houseplant. It thrives in warm, humid environments and makes a sophisticated addition to any curated collection or modern interior.

✨ Unique and tactile — Alocasia ‘Melo’ is nature’s sculpture, blending resilience with rare tropical beauty.
